The first - fourth are all WAY higher for Blu. (thousands)

The boxset is 55 spots higher in Blu.

I think we'll win all but the 5th movie due to the combo version.

Amazon ranks don't indicate much, even when there is a sale on Amazon it doesn't really cause a blip. If you ever notice, the people who buy on Amazon usually buy the two disc special editons over their single disc counterparts. We all know Spider-Man 3 single BD outsold the box set, but by looking at Amazon, one would think the 3 movie set outsold the single. In real life this never happens. Look at how high the 2 disc special editon of Order of the Phoenix is and then check out the single disc version. Even Hairspray, the special edition is way outselling the single disc version. That only happens on Amazon. I don't think we will lose on the single Order of the Phoenix, I would think the oposite. Even HD DVD people don't like the combo discs and if they are neutral supporters, many of them will choose the BD over the HD DVD because of that.

Oh yeah I am getting them individually, but not all at once since it is too close to Christmas and I have too many people to buy presents for that don't reciprocate so I can't ask for them as presents, most of them are under the age of 10 and I don't like getting movies as presents anyway since I always get them for myself so its not like it is getting anything special.
