It's up.

Blu-ray 64
HD DVD 36

OK, these are the most recent pre Blockbuster announcement figures. It will be interesting to compare with next week's figures which may be the first ones possibly influenced by the BB announcement on 6/18/07.

Ghost Rider dominated this week.

If I'm reading the index right, GR beat PE HD DVD by 4 to 1 and Breach by 5 to 1. Looking at those numbers it's extremely clear that the amazon rankings for PE HD DVD are way off from reality.

Interestingly enough, HD DVD had the #2 and #3 positions this week in the top ten but those were the only spots. BR had 8 of the top 10 sellers and that was before the BB announcment.

I was thinking the same thing, next weeks should be telling. If HD-DVD sales drop in huge numbers due to the annoncement I think we can say that the war is offically over. If the HD-DVD fans see this as the end and quit buying disk for fear of a obsolete format, no amount of marketing or cheap players can save them.

I hope GR was a huge seller because that's a big drop to other BDs as well.

[Scorxpion]

BD is the only way to watch HIGH DEFINITION ........Congratulations for BD dominance in every territory and everywhere in the world.

Is it just me, or when I see that Ghost Rider did as well as it did that the %s feel like they should be higher?

i really don't get why pe is so popular?

I don't either. It is probably one of the last Blu-rays I'd ever get. Ah, well, I guess we all have different tastes.

If you factor in the Warner and Paramount titles which always sell more on Blu-ray than HD DVD, it will be a slaughtering. Thanks for the link.

...time marches on!

[Glow007]

I actually really like PE, I just cant bring myself to spend 70 bucks on it...I dont like it that much. The only reason I can figure it does so well on HD-DVD is because almost all of the HD-DVD movies SUCK and they have nothing better to buy

And I'm thinking Knocked Up isn't going to be a must have in terms of getting HD visuals - especially compared to the competitions offerings.

1-Spider-Man 3 Sony
3-Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End BV
9-Meet the Robinsons BV
14-Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Fox

Yikes. Which I guess leaves us with..

So, you really think HD DVD people care about HD visuals?

Well if they are.. then as we can see above they will at least need to get Blu in addition .

Maybe that's how Evan Almighty will make that $250 million back.
