hmm you do have a point...well I think it will be close either way. I don't see transformers just slaughtering blu at all.

cpgator · 10-12-2007, 08:45 PM

HD-DVD has a huge title that week, and BD has nothing. They have some good titles this week that might carry over to next week, but nothing close to Transformers.

Proteus · 10-12-2007, 08:45 PM

Blu's far larger player base (yes, the PS3 does count for something) will give it a larger 'buying window' for consumers on titles. Basically, this means that titles that sold well one week will continue to sell well for weeks after. HDDVD really doesn't see this in as such a pronounced way... For HDDVD if a title doesn't sell well in week one it just doesn't pick up or give a good return over time.

This is why 300 is still among top sellers for Blu, whereas it has started dropping fast for HDDVD. HDDVD simply ran out of consumers with players to buy it already.

I think Transformers may be the number one selling title between the two formats, but in total numbers Blu-ray will outsell HD-DVD.

I doubt transformers will sell more than 300 did its first week for blu.....

I expect blu will take a beating but Toshiba will still stand to lose $99+ million dollars. The only winner is Dreamworks. Seriously, I'd have only bought that movie to beat Red on that date. The sequel better have a story and some acting and maybe some suspense or a twist.

I'm gonna do my part to help he numbers with between 5 and 10 SKUs. PS3 owners need to get off their asses.

SKRUhddvd · 10-12-2007, 08:56 PM

answer me a question? do pre orders count with amazon for the date you order it or the date they ship it?

The day the bill/ship.

It doesn't matter if we lose 1 week, as long as we dominate the 4th quarter. And judging from each formats releases from now til Xmas, bluray has the rest of the year locked up.

wisper9999 · 10-12-2007, 09:00 PM

I plan on being a dick and hiding a few copies behind the crappy movies. That will keep the sales low. Doohhhhhhh

airwedge1 · 10-12-2007, 09:05 PM

All the buy some amount of BD, get some free deals will help out a lot that week. And all the people on this forum, that pay attention to the war will purposely buy a bunch of bds to try and counteract transformers. I can guarantee the sales of hd dvd, and bd will be much higher then the weeks previous. I think the results will be close.

Knight-Errant · 10-12-2007, 09:06 PM

I'm buying a truckload of movies in the run up to christmas

Banjo · 10-12-2007, 09:07 PM

You know what would be quite a nice surprise?

If 'The Invisible' on Blu-ray Disc outsold 'Transformers' on HD DVD.

Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Jazar · 10-12-2007, 09:10 PM

I think the Best Buy & Fry sales will help a lot but I still don't think BD has a chance for next week. That's just one week though. HD DVD won't have a chance for the rest of the year once spiderman comes out.

airwedge1 · 10-12-2007, 09:13 PM

If HD DVD does win that week, I guarantee we will see an announcement from Toshiba announcing they are now selling more hidef discs then blu. and the hd dvd idiots claiming victory. and it'll all be complete fud

If Toshiba saw one guy walking out of a shop carrying a Blu-ray and one carrying two HD-DVDs, they'd claim they were selling more at this point.

Blu-Style · 10-12-2007, 09:21 PM

At least they got ONE "good" title... hahahahaha

give them a round of applause guys...

I personally didn't like Transformers at all. I think it could have been done a lot better
