Just bought Quantum of Solace on BR.  Well worth the money.

So this is just movie purchases right?

I imagine rentals for bluray would be even lower.

Blu-Ray has been doing better mainly because studios and retailers seem to be putting less DVD's on the shelves and more Blu-Ray stuff. I still haven't bought any new Blu-Ray movies. I have seen some nice sales though. $9.99 - $13.99 Blu-Ray movies. That's a good deal. I'm currently using my PS3 to play my DVD's right now anyways, because it upscales my DVD'sto 1080p for one and 2, my receiver got hosed so using my DVD player isn't the best. Once i get my new Receiver, I'll hook my optical cable from my PS3 to the receiver and I'll have some serious sound. It's still going to take awhile before Blu-Ray takes off. A lot of people still don't have Blu-Ray players. I won't be surprised if a new media format gets introduced in another couple of years.

I think one of the main reasons why bd sells better is because consumers have no choice but to buy an original copy. In Leicester where I live, there shops that openly sell pirate DVDs for a pound each. Some are copies of originals, some are preview copies and some are rubbish. To own a physical copy of a hd film, you have no choice but to make a purchase which is original.

That makes no sense.  All Blu-Ray players can play DVDs.  People are increasingly choosing the HD format, even over dirt-cheap pirated DVDs.  The existance of dirt-cheap pirated DVDs hurts BD sales, because it makes an even-cheaper-than-retail-DVD option available to compete with BD, just like it does with DVD.

If your argument is that it hurts DVD sales "more" than BD sales, I would say that can't be true, as the choice to use DVD hasn't been taken away from the BD consumer.

Top 20 selling Blu-rays

I'll try and keep this updated with weekly numbers, but I wont do YTD or anything like that

Here are the numbers for week ending 6/21/09. Blu-ray percentage took hit, but evenue is up from last week and YoY, it was just a big week for DVD.  Quite possibly Fathers Day.

Here are the Top 20 ellng Blu-Rays for the week.  Gran Torino on top again.
