1st Blockbuster decision

2nd Blu-ray rot claims BY AVS till now

Quote very important:

"Posters on the AVS Forum have reported that some very specific BD titles seem to have been afflicted with what can only be described as looking like little colonies of bacteria growing in a Petrie dish. Photos have been published showing a smattering of small spots, sometimes dark gray and sometimes cinnamon brown, contaminating the data side of a very few titles including The Prestige and Stranger Than Fiction. The problem renders the disc unplayable. These seem to be isolated incidents, a mere handful of reports among over a million BDs sold (none of my over one hundred BDs, including those two titles, are similarly afflicted). It is most likely a manufacturing flaw rather than an inherent design or structural weakness. "

we should believe and trust Paidgeek when said our BD library are safe

3rd:

Blu-ray Disc Expands Audio Options

4th:
BD+ Has Been Finalized and FOX

5th

Panasonic coo

" Panasonic executive VP and Chief Operations Officer Joseph Taylor bluntly said that the format war is over and Blu-Ray Disc has won"

6th Sales of BD discs and Players so far

Quote
"To date, there have been 224 HD DVD releases (62 scheduled for a total of 286) and 259 BD releases (42 scheduled for a total of 301). BD has an edge, but I’d hardly call it lopsided. So I was not completely convinced when Smith said, “When you walk into a store and see all this product available in Blu-ray and there is less available on HD DVD, I think the consumer gets that.” Less? Yes. Significantly less? No.

However, what cannot be denied is the overwhelming lead Blu-ray Disc enjoys in sales. The current ratios favor BD to HD DVD by 5:1 for players in the installed base and, for 2007, a 2:1 advantage in disc sales. According to research performed by the Digital Entertainment Group, there are 1.5-million Blu-ray players in American households, of which 100,000 are set top players and 1.4 million are PS3s. (That will shift now that less expensive BD players are coming to market.) HD DVD players number 300,000, roughly split equally between set top players and peripheral drives on Xbox 360s. The DEG also determined that $55 million has been spent on HD Discs cumulatively to date; $35 million was spent on BDs and $20 million on HD DVDs. "
