Unbundled, HD DVD outstrips Blu-ray by huge margin - Show thread - By Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars on May 27, 2007 - 5 responses - Last response on May 27, 2007
http://www.eproductwars.com/dvd/index.cfm - I'd kindof noticed that the Pirates came unbundled, and getting an unfair advantage there with total rankings in the format war. But, would you expect any less. The respective rankings are 14 and 16 - 2 points apart. Anyways, I thought I could the same for HDDVD. Here goes:
Planet Earth comes on 4 disks, with a collective ranking of 8. Unbundled we get 8, 10, 12, and 14. The ultimate Matrix collection ranks 41, unbundled that means 41, 43, 45. The "complete Trilogy" ranks 54, so we get 54, 56, 58. And, we already got our 1st ten titles right there. Add up, divide by 10, and we get 34.1 - which is an order of magnitude better than what Tony has for 'Salesrank of top 10 products' for HD DVD.
Moving right along, we next find Heroes, with sales rank 132. (Actually 125 on amazon, so moving up in the ranks) Well, when we unbundle the Heroes by Tony we get 7 discs. Soooo, that's 132, 134, 136, 138, 140, 142, 144. And, has brought us up to 17 discs, so far, so 8 more to go.
'Letters' is 134, DVE 377, Fountain 424, Virgin 511, Batman 613, COM 667, Frighteners 797, and Flags 831. Total there is 5661. Divided by 25 gives us 226.44. That's A LOT better than what Tony has (when bundled up) at 1001.08. And a lot better than Blu-ray, too. Like, still beats Blu-ray by a wide margin. Just how much? You do the Math.
Anyways, the fully unbundled Blu Top 10 come in at 14, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26 [Planet Earth], 37, 108, 194, 246. Total of 707, divided by 10 is 70.7. Meaning, HD DVD beats Blu-ray by a factor of 2 in THAT category. Whatever that means.
Sorry this is the most ridiculous FUD ever. ROFL. what will the fanbois do to try to get HD DVD on top.
