I am not surprised must give credit where it is due. Thise fanbois can "spin" anything. Even if they lose the week 75-25, they still say they won

yes but its unbelievable, how DUMB can people be? (sorry but i have to say that)

[joeorc]

this is what gets me now look at this:

Firemaster,

Did you look at the numbers on the chart? The rough average difference between the titles is roughly 3000 discs over 8 months. That amounts to 350 to 400 discs per month.

This is supposed to represent a domination of BD over HD? This is what BD is claiming amounts to a "winning" format? This is what BD is bragging about?

I look at those numbers and I think HDM is in trouble. If they can only sell a total of roughly 250K discs in 8 months, and that is not good.

my response is this:
no my friend that would be HD DVD in trouble..why..its about disc sales right...the sale of your MEDIA the optical disc's and player's themselves..but mainly the sale of disc's

.what people are overlooking and i have said this plenty of times..is a Blu-Ray disc sold is a Blu-Ray disc sold.

Blu-RAY NOT ONLY IS MOVIE DISC'S SOLD
IS ALSO BLANK BURNABLE MEDIA IN THE 12 cm FORMAT, ALSO THE 8 cm format. but the big one SOFTWARE OUTSIDE THE MOVIE industry. how many COPY's of RESISTANCE FALL OF MAN HAVE SOLD SO FAR AT $60.00 each copy.RESISTANCE FALL OF MAN IS AT OVER 1,MILLION COPY'S , COUNT IN MOTOR STORM ALSO AT OVER A MILLION DISC'S SOLD..AT Once again $60.00 a pop.NOW ADD THIS METAL GEAR SOLID :4 a blu-ray disc. how many copy's will that game SELL ON ...THAT'S RIGHT ONCE AGAIN Blu-Ray the strength is the MEDIA markets to sell disc's in that HD DVD does not sell a disc in. that is the real strength of A FORMAT. there is only one HD FORMAT in trouble and thats
HD DVD in my OPINION until it has other uses past movies its never going to be a standard FORMAT that the CE companies other than the MOVIE STUDIOS will support that format.

"...HD DVD discs cost way less to create an equivalent title. Paramount is losing money on both formats at this point. They cut losses on the most expensive to create...."

This is the kind of quotes that crack me up. The difference is about .10 per disc at most, and that doesn't inlcude the HD-DVD/DVD hybrid disks that actually more even things out.

That's per Home Media, and the HD-DVD wiki.

Boy, you really gotta give it to Lee Stewart. He's keeping his 700 posts per month up. It's amazing how all of the Acolytes show up at the same time. It's almost like they discuss strategy off line and then come in to support each other immediately after the first one posts. MichaelHDDVD, Lee Stewart, RDjam and Anotheraviator. Find one, you find them all.

Absolutely hilarious how they can never admit defeat even when it's looking them squarely in the fase.

[SS316SRV]

For me, Paramount needs to be very concered. Their sales numbers are staggeringly low. I am pretty sure that Bram Stoker's Dracula will Sell more than MI:3. I am almost certain that any of blu's independent horror classics Dawn, Day of the Dad and Evil Dead 2, will sell better than most if not all of Paramount's titles. Paramount was just trying to tread water until Transformers.


Everybody should go buy Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and Evil Dead 2. Classics.

[HK-48]

Those HD DVD fanboys are, well I don't want to be mean, but I think they need to double check their facts on, well, everything.

The website is Chinese, not Japanese. See the .CN at the end of the host address. All the numbers and stuff you see are for the US (see the heading in the pictures). Failure to launch, really did fail to launch. You know what's really sad? Only the top two titles in that list probably made a profit.

It just goes to show that it was a political deci$ion and not one of reason or logic.

u funny, it's ZDnet China, it's in Chinese not Japanese.... lol it's kinda like Cnet in China.

first it says ZDnet China on the page, and the domain name is .com.cn (cn is for china, as jp stands for japan)

[victorvondoom88]

Wow those guys over at AVS welll...... I don't really know what to say about that whole thing.
"Our format is wining even if we sell less cause ours costs less to make and therefor more profitable and hence a better business model. So there take that blu-ray!"

I'm no rocket scientist but that argument makes no sense to me. Wouldn't they (HD-DVD & Blu-ray) set the price point of the media so that they made money on the discs regardless of manufacturing costs?

This is very great news but i just saw on bestbuy.com that there a good amount of hd-dvd movies from paramount that are on sale like for instance Aeon Flux, Tomb Raider, Dreamgirls, Disturbia, Norbit, Mission Impossible 3, etc. They were about $3 to about $5 cheaper then normal
