This is an excerpt from the TWICE interview with Warner's Home Video president Ron Sanders. You can read more @ http://www.twice.com/article/CA6477849.html

The movie 300 sold more on BLURAY than HDDVD
The Planet Earth BBC series sold more on HDDVD than Bluray (WTF??)

We need to fix this ASAP guys, by year end we need to spread the word and help generate more WARNER BD sales, and better yet generate a lot more PLANET EARTH BD sales, so that by year end PLANET EARTH has better numbers on BD than HDDVD. Here is the excerpt....

TWICE: Do you actively encourage retail accounts to stock both formats?

Sanders: We do. There are no special incentives to support both but they will chase the consumer, and the consumer wants both. In software, new release titles are selling around 2-to-1, Blu-ray to HD DVD. But it varies by any given title. On “Planet Earth” we sold more HD DVD than Blu-ray and on “300” we sold more Blu-ray than HD. It’s probably two-thirds to one-third, but you’re going to give up a third of that. We’re about returning the best profit on the asset of a film, and it’s hard to give that up. So, let’s see where it all plays out.


We also need to take care of that 1/3rd thats making Warner hang on to HDDVD (See underlined green text above). Lets make it 3/4th and 1/4th this Christmas! Better yet, 4/5th to 1/5th!, I can go on, I am pretty good at match :P


ANYONE WHO HAS NOT PURCHASED PLANET EARTH ON BD - NEEDS TO GO BUY IT ASAP (If you got some cash to spare ofcourse )

BUY PLANET EARTH ON BLURAY! Tell all your BD friends to buy it if they dont have it yet! If you have it, then bring your BD and Non-BD friends over to see the magiv of PLANET EART ON BD!
