Here are some more great tables showing Blu-rays progress

I think its pretty obvious which week was Avatar in this chart

Top 20  Year to Date
Again,  no surpises here as Avatar takes the top spot.  The only big surprise would be the movie in the #2 spot

Top 50 All Time
I was actually surprised to see Avatar take this especially with how well The Dark Knight continues to sell.

If you dont like it stop showing up and dont ruin my thread.  But I do have to say thanks for giving me the oppourtunity to try out the report system on the fantastically designed new website

When Do you guys see Blu Ray finally throwing off the shackles and stepping out of DVD daddies shadow ?

Also how is DD measured ?

We dont digital download movies to own but rent a movie from our provider most weekend which is streamed On Demand. Are these measured or is it a different thing from DD ?

Finally Blu Ray players and Movies are still premium priced here in the UK. Any idea when they will bring the costs down to a reasonable level ?

At this rate never, LOL.  But in all seriousness though,  It will take probably 2 years before DVD starts getting forced off the shelves due to studios deciding to side with Blu-ray completely and slowly weening DVD production.  Alot like what happened to VHS.  But this will only happen if Blu-ray starts picking up market share.   This holiday season could be the real tell on its future.  Will it end up being the default medium for movies?  Or just a high def alternative?

DD is measured like DVD and Blu-ray is measured.  Revenue

DD Renting is measured, but it is measured separately.  But so is DVD and Blu-ray renting

That I cannot answer,   prices have come down quite a bit here in the states.   Most new movies are under $20 and Blu-ray players have hit the $100 barrier.  

2 years before DVDs being forced off the shelves?  I don't think so... I think 4 years at the earliest.  A lot of people don't care to upgrade to Blu Ray.  In a few years most people will be on Netflix instant stream or another kind of service like that and will hardly every buy a movie.  Blu Ray might be one of the last disk formats before everyone goes digital or to instant stream/rental service.  Personally, I think disk suck since they can always be scratched (even with the ultra protective whatever layer they say is on Blu Ray).  I don't know why they don't start using usb drive or some other type of format that can never be scratched.   For me I'll never buy a movie ever again.  I have seen the future and it is called Netflix.  I watch whatever they have on instant stream (sure don't have everything but they have a ton) and I get whatever they don't have on instant stream shipped to me.  There is no point on spending money on movies / tv shows anymore.  I view cable, regular tv and buying movies as obsolete now.  Once people are exposed to Netflix or services like it more they will see the light.

The reason why they don't use a SD card or other solid media, is the pricing. 50GB SD cards to equal Bluray space, are still in the expensive range. "You" don't like buying movies and TV shows. The rest of the world is differnet.

Well it seems you obviously didnt read a single thing I wrote, except for the 2 years part.  My 2 years calculations is based off of a scenario where Blu-ray really starts to pick up some major marketshare soon.  Which isnt happening right now.   

Personally I think DD sucks,  if you actually buy it instead of stream it you have to wait for it to download, plus most of the time they dotn come with surround sound,  its just 2 channel BS sound.   But not with Blu-ray, its True HD with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound.  And since I actually own it and can hold it in my hands I can let friends borrow them.   Not true with DD movies.  

The Future is not Netflix,  DD has such a small martketshare its rearely reported on due to being insignificant to the current trends and near future.  

I saw the light on Netflix,  it looked like a burned out light bulb.  But maybe it was because I was blinded by light Blu-ray has and all they have to offer.  

Correct,  movies would cost close to $40 a piece if they were on SD cards or flash drives.
