In Reply to: RE: That would imply an extremely high attach rate for Bluray Standalone players. posted by oscar on December 13, 2007 at 06:54:27
Warner does not care about how you play them, as long as you buy them.
HD DVD keep on losing market share in movies. USA was the last hope in the world, and with 74 versus 26 last week, that hope is gone. Toshiba knows this better than many posters here. So it is now a question of how Toshiba can stop HD DVD production, while saving face, a very important tradition in Japan.
Follow Ups:
The last official numbers (week ending 12/2) were 58:42. Try to keep up. That's quite a jump up from 74:26 the week before. Perhaps its the A2/A3 sales. If you look at the titles selling, many have been around for a while, implying that new customers are buying movies.
enjoy,
Jack
I had 74:26 incorrect; that was the number 2/3/4 weeks ago (I forget). Week ending 12/9/07 was 76:24 with POTC3 and Superbad (Blu-ray) vs. BattleStar Galactica (HD DVD) (hardly fair).
This week will be more interesting. Bourne Ultimatum should be big for HD DVD, Legend of Zorro, Lost for Blu-ray. And Harry Potter on both formats (HD DVD got a break; some of the Blu-ray box sets had both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs in them (!) - big whoops for Warners).
Numbers keep fluctuating based on popularity of new releases, Blu-ray is staying ahead but the recent weeks have suggested to me HD DVD has picked it up a bit (except for last week).
60% Blu, 40% HD.

But, since only the studios know the real numbers, its probably the best we have.

... compared to BB, CC, et al. Last time I checked, the cheapest HD DVD player ($298) was only $90 less than the Sony player; both well above the pricepoints of your typical Wallyworld riffraff. HD media was also consistently in the $30 price range behind locked cabinets.
You may be right. OTOH, I saw a Walmart ad for The Borne Ultimatum HD DVD last Monday. I was surprised. I have no idea what they charged for it.
I don't know how much high def they sell there, but a few months ago, it was basically none. Its possible people will get players when they get cheapo HDTVs. I do think the HD business is starting to pick up there.

I do keep up, the numbers do go up and down, but look out for
Pirates, they stole last week:-) 160,000 is a new high on Blu Ray.

They said they *moved* (as in shipped) 160,000, whereas they said spiderman3 *sold* 130,000 in 6 days. Gotta love the BDA and their semantics.
I opted not to buy either BTW.

have gone up significantly, though it could have been how successful the movies well.
