Box Office Mojo high-def poll; vote for Blu! - Blu-ray Forum

inaz4sun · 07-09-2007, 05:09 PM

A poll at Box Office Mojo shows that not many people in general have moved to an HD player. Here are the results:

What type of high definition video player do you use?
69.2% None
17.5% HD-DVD
10.1% Blu-ray
3.1% Both
2,146 users polled.

What would be interesting to see now is how those numbers change over the next 6 month to a year. The funny thing is, people who go see a lot of movies and then complain about the price of a player or buying the movies don't quite know how to do math. Now you can get an HD player for under $500, so that would be about 50 movie tickets. Some folks do that in probably less than a year. And then with a BB online account you can get many many HD movies a month for about $10, the cost of 1 ticket.

Its ongoing.

Well the Blu-ray numbers are lower because people who have Blu-ray would rather sit at home and watch their gorgeous movies. At least that's my interpretation. :-)

I wonder if people mistook their upconverting DVD players as HD DVD players . . . seeing as how people buy HD DVD's instead of regular DVD's on accident, I wouldn't put it past them.
