Wow just read through this forum and I can't believe the heat in this thread. I bet starcraft would not have cared about this thread if HD DVD was still around.

Blu ray is very relevant to blu ray sales because it is the HD disk format and a key advantage of the PS3 and probably why it is selling better in America.

Further, movie downloads right now should not compare against disk sales because it should be compared against renting at like block buster and net flix. You don't keep downloaded movies...you dont keep rented movies. Movie sales are for people who want to keep the movie.

 i agree, if i pay for a movie, i want to keep it so i can watch it again and again.

it is interesting to see the size of the spike in sales. I guess everyone wanted the movies for that week.

How much revenue did blu-ray rake in last year. I coulda sworn it was a billion... but these figures only show about 140mil for this year... which is only like 300mil for the whole year.
