And for who already have a great collection of DVD(just like me), you can get an upscaling DVD, if you live in US i recommend a Toshiba XDE, good price and great result. If you live in Latin America(many users) i recommend a Sony DVD with HDMI, okay price for our standards and pretty good result.

Why, whith Blu-ray players hitting the sub $100 mark and doing a better job at upscaling than most DVD players why bother?  Its not like Blu-ray players dont play DVDs.

Hmm I wished we had numbers for Japan/Europe.

I think every week there are tens of new titles coming out on BD, so why r u interested in catalogue titles.? although i do accept that there r few evergreen titles but still it is the new titles which i will buy for BD player not old title. it is saying like that until or unless each and every game i played on my 386 computer on a floppy is not available for $1 on Blu Ray disk, i won't buy Blu Ray player for my computer. If i m interested in BD it is cuz of the games like MGS, Uncharted, Killzone etc or films like Transformers 2, New harry potter, Monster vs aliens maybe..

Sorry about being a little late with this guys, I have been on vacation, but its not like that many people care around here.

Here are the numbers for week ending 07/12/09

Blu-ray percentage 13:87.   Pretty good numbers for Blu-ray, with it seeing an increase of 149.25% YoY with both total sales and DVD down.

149% is more than doubling its sales. Thats impressive I wonder if next year trends continue... then we can see it get 1/4th of total sales. Very impressive!

If I were Sony I'd start releasing timed exclusive blu-ray movies. try and bully people to upgrade.

Yeah its a great number, I expect to see over 20% Blu-ray share during the holidays. The players are getting to be very reasonable price wise and I also expect to see a price cut for the media as well. I have heard talks about timed exclusive Blu-ray releases, and I do beleive there are a few planned.

They don't even need to be a long delay between releases. I think something like a month timed would get the point across to a few consumers that movies are headeing in a new direction... and it doesn't need to be something like Harry Potter either. Though that probablly would be the most effective. I think a somethin smaller would do the trick.

Here are the numbers for weeks ending 7/19/09

Blu-ray percentage is 8:92.  Pretty bad week for Blu-ray despite being up 90.6% YoY and total media being down 13.5% YoY.

Not everyone will be looking in places like Amazon to get Blu Ray movies. Average consumers will see a large difference in price from DVD's when they go to the store.
