Blu-ray owns HD-DVD again... during THEIR Bogo week!!

[Nstars07]

The Blu-ray support has been nothing less than awesome these past few weeks. Keep up the great work everyone!

http://www.n4g.com/tech/News-88819.aspx

"Nielsen VideoScan data for the week shows 72.6% of high-definition discs purchased by consumers were Blu-ray and just 27.4% were HD DVD. HD DVD players have been selling for as little as $98, one-fourth the lowest street price for a Blu-ray player."

What is even more astonishing is that during this week, the HD-DVD group had a BOGO running on Amazon as well as some retailers.

GO BLU!

Doesn’t the news just keep getting better Let’s hope Warner are taking notes.

Hopefully with consumers showing consistent preference for Blu-ray, it will help sway the likes of Universal and Weinstein into releasing their content on Blu-ray.

Here's to Blu!

+1

If the number 72% is true, that would be awesome! since HD DVD had a BOGOF that week AND of course the "mass" of cheap 1080i Half HD Player wich HD DVD have sold the last weeks!

It seems those cheap half HD players wont have any impact at all!
Numbers speak for them self!

More proof that content is king on any format.

90/10 weeks won't happen for a long time or WB has to go BD exclusive. Here is what 90/10 will have to look like:

270/30
540/60
810/90

More than 80/20 may happen for Pirates week, around 80k of Pirates 2 have sold, every one of those will buy the third and many people that don't have it will also that title has the best chance to break 200k.

[roachxp]

My Bluray library has grown by leaps and bounds thanks to these sales, while my HD DVD library has somewhat stagnated.

Nice prediction

Very funny, every cliche in the book, FUD, spin, misdirections, ignorance of the facts and finally personal insults.
