PSUNews: "So much for the speculation that Blu-ray is going to be a dead format and will never truly take-off, right? According to Digital Entertainment Group, Blu-ray players rank at #1 for the most wanted electronic for this holiday season. Add on to this the fact that Blu-ray player sales were up 300% this Thanksgiving holiday and you have what is unarguably an incredible increase in sales.
"This recent survey data combined with these sales numbers illustrates that, given the economy, people will be spending more time entertaining themselves at home by watching movies – and the delivery system they want is Blu-ray," said Amy Jo Smith, Executive Director, DEG. "These stats are particularly encouraging because, even with the consumer anxiety out there right now, Blu-ray is poised for a strong holiday sales season."
These same reports also reveal the top 5 Blu-ray titles on everyone's wish list are:
- The Dark Knight
- Mamma Mia! The Movie
- Wall-E
- The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
- Hancock
Therefore, if you're still wondering what to buy that special someone this holiday season, I think it just became a bit more obvious"
