Are you seeing the spread regularly more than $5? For new releases, I'm not. P.s. Even when this thread was first posted, Over America on Blu-Ray was just under $10 at my local Costco.

Barely news. This price was predicted for months.

If you read the article, its more about the dying off of DVD sales then it is about BD sales. This and other reports imply BD sales are doing well for having been out only two years.

If you look at the numbers coming out, for hidef titles that do exist there is a lot higher percentate than 2% being sold as BD/HD-DVD. Still are much more titles coming out on DVD only, which apparently why the percentage is lower.

And at the same time Blockbuster plans to expand its Blu-Ray to all its stores. HDTV Magazine Bulletins - Blockbuster(R) Rolls Out Blu-ray Format Across U.S. & Canada Looks like they want to cover all bets.

Sounds like the April 1 issue rather than the April 6 issue. Makes very little sense that the top 10 are Blu-Ray and yet HD-DVD had a very good week.:confused:

I am guessing the opposite. 80% or more. Not saying they are all buying them, but remember all those free Discs including some that were included with the PS3. Non-PS3 owner's are of course playing BD.

Not much under but at amazon Sony BDP-S300 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- List Price: $499.99 Price: $388.75 Free Shipping There are some others also under 399. Expect to see more as the new models...

I have an A2 so I can compare them. I have seen an A3 at a friends and was equally unimpressed. Yes, I have heard, that some other Toshiba models such as the XA2 are excellent. The are several reviews calling the PS3's upconverting very good. E.g the following cnet report gives both the...

Actually its rated good at upconverting. But there are many that are better. Not including the Toshiba A-2 and A-3 which are not as good.

They also didn't mention Phillips attempt with CD-I.

6.8%. Still more of a ratio then I would have thought.

Looks like those who wanted to keep the forum open for now have won. See Scott's reprieve notice. http://www.satelliteguys.us/hd-dvd-blu-ray-war-zone/129845-dear-friends.html

If you are paying US $30+ you need to find a new store, or shop at one of the major online sites. After watching a BD people will really be disappointed with D* or E* service picture quality.

No, Clay tablets are best.:) Takes to long to carve stone, or beat out your papyrus reeds.

I say go ahead and close it as announced. The figures for sales would be nice. Particularly if we can get some real numbers (going beyond when HD-DVD sales drop off). Might give us some Idea how Blu-Ray is doing against DVD. Of course at this point its probably 1 % or less of DVD sales.

Don't forget, Toshiba could get nailed too. Just when they want to forget HD-DVD.

Probably little effect. Assuming they actually violate, or decide to settle as the easier course, it will Probably not be that large an increase in the price of the diode's.

Note that many of those players "made to specs in 1997" could not play some of the later DVD's, notably those used for home recording (-R, +R,+RW). And of course they had other problems. Those of us who were early adopters probably had to go through several versions.

If Microsoft wants to add a Blu-ray drive, they do not need Sony. All they need do is license it from BDA, and then start producing them. If they are talking then they probably are trying to strike a deal for some special considerations.

Well conceived no. But everyone knew about them before the first Blu-Ray 1.0 players came to market in 2006.

Just order some more today and my discount was still applied! I wonder for how much longer.

Certainly. The Playstation 3, for example, is manufactured in Japan and China.

Paramount can stop the HDDVD production. Already mentioned by CEO of Dreamworks. Note some of the rights are controlled by the producers/directors, notably Spielberg. Spielberg is said to have always insisted that he wanted his released on Blu-Ray. Note that Dreamworks Animation was spun...

Where do you see such a price difference? Street prices are much lower (for both) but for example MSRP Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 35.99 (Two disc set HD/BD) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 34.99 (Two disc set Sd) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 28.98...
