BLU-RAY SALES THREAD: Put all sales figures and comments here! - Page 11  

Is that the sequel to ETERNAL Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?

You didn't even like Buscemi's funeral?

my bad, its friday. My brain has taken a dump early.

I liked some part's like Jesus the bowler and the funeral had funny parts, but overall it was just so drawn out and slow IMO.

King pin > Big Lebowski

I would have to agree, but many wouldn't.

Loved King Pin (no idea what studio it is by, don't really care either, lol)

Kingpin is MGM (Fox)

cool, well I already have it on DVD.. Definitely not double dipping for it.

Dvds still kicking the snot of both formats... LMAO.....

So what's the consensus? Is BD pulling away? Anyone think Warner and Paramount regret being neutral?

To me at this point HD DVD + BD is far better than either format alone. So for now, you need both to enjoy HD.....JMHO.

It's been like that since at least '98 bro.

give it time....

I don't see how they can regret it. Are you saying they regret not being BD exclusive or HD DVD exclusive? The only advantage I can see for them being BD exclusive is that it might end the battle and negate the need for TotalHD

A Long Time.

yeh most people are happy with their 27incher with a standard dvd. Life is short, i wanna experience best. Hence why I keep up with all these tech and gadget stuff.

There will likely come a day when HD disc prices are no more than DVD. This is one reason why I like the combo idea, or at least a 2 in 1 box. When, like I said the prices are equal, people can get a combo disc and upgrade when they're ready.

Not really.

Plaz,

Yes, Blu-ray is pulling away. It is evident in every chart we see. How will Universal's announcement effect the war? It will bring HD-DVD back in to the game for a few months, but once these titles have been out for several weeks, unfortunately HD-DVD will no longer have the titles available to stay competitive.

I do not feel WB or Paramount regret being neutral due to the double-dip possibility. I.E. = People who current own titles on HD-DVD from Paramount and WB will have to buy the same titles again when HD-DVD is obsolete.

Not the case with Warner since THD is coming out.

Actual price, that you can go into the store and buy. And yes, standalone.

To me having both formats is only marginally better than having just Blu-ray.
Having only HD DVD would be way down the list - far too many big titles compared to just the Universal titles.

Knowing that Warner will have caught up by the end of the year makes me look forward to Batman Begins and V4V hopefully with PCM.

Why is my HD-DVD player going to refuse to power up if Blu-ray is oneday declared the winner.

How foolish do your comments have to become.

Blu ray/HD DVD wars...not in my house I won't have it. I buy whatever I want. I love being neutral.

There is not going to be a winner...they will both be here for years.

Are you seroiously trying to take a percentage of a percentage and then claim that is statistically signifigant. It's a joke, but not statistically signifigant.

I lived in Flint for 5 years and am well aware of the effect of the auto industry in that area. My point was that despite foreign auto makers having a lead on American auto makers, the American auto makers aren't going to just disappear over night, or declare foreign makers the "winner". They restructure, get back to business, grow fat again, and start the decline all over.

At least Josh helps increase the entertainment value of reading threads here at AVS...

It was the weirdest thing...when I got DVD my LD player died and since purchasing HD DVD my D-VHS decks have died...

FYI, if it's not a favorite and I've got it on D-VHS, I don't buy it again. Why would anyone "need" to rebuy any HD format when the other dies? If their player dies, that's another story.


Thanks! As usual, another gem... ...since Universal not only announced 100 movies but there was a message hidden in the release (in code, naturally) that there's nothing planned after these 100 hit the shelves...WOW!! Where do you come up with this?

OBSOLETE?
Where do you get your info from man? A 3 WEEK CHART??? GIVE ME A BREAK MAN!
Stop hanging around BR fanatics and get into the act of getting information from INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY SOURCES!

I don't give a hoot what HD DVD fanatics or BR fanatics think, I go to independent sources who have no vested interest in either format; that's where you gather the truth.

Do you think that we in the media go to companies and ask them what they think of themselves, and then air that as facts? No. we go to 3rd party sources to corroborate their stories.

HD DVD just won the prestigious Product of the Year Award from Sound And Vision, the world's largest entertainment magazine. When the most trusted and respected CE magazine gives you its highest honor, your future is very bright!

You think buyers are so stupid, that they buy into what the BDA or the HD DVD Promotion groups are selling? NO! These bodies are BIASED TOWARD THEIR BRAND, and therefore whatever they say about themselves, and their back patting amounts to SQUAT in the eyes of consumers!
What consumers trust are ACCREDITED THIRD PARTY REVIEWS. That is why they read Consumer Reports Magazine.

This is why you see auto makers advertising "Car And Driver Truck of the year", or "JD Power and Asso. Truck of the Year" ads. They SELL PRODUCTS!
The BDA's self promoting tactics is BAD MARKETING, it will eventually do more harm than good.

I don't know how you're defining that but if something has a 60/40 split the 60 side is 50% bigger than the 40 side. BB77 is mathematically correct.

Consumer Reports recent car seat review was real trustworthy. And this isn't the first time CR has been accused of incompetence or worse.
