With the official Target anouncement it has been a good news day for the BDA.

1. Close Encounters was distributed by Columbia, which is now owned by Sony. That doesn't prove Spielberg has made up his mind on a format.
2. Sony made the announcement about Target, not Target itself. So I'm not taking the whole deal the way Sony is presenting it, until further word from Target.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

"Following Target's announcement that they will be supporting Blu-ray, BJ's Wholesale Cub will be carrying Blu-ray discs exclusively, dropping HD-DVD support from its shelves by Q4 of this year. It's clear that Sony's proprietary HD movie format is gaining strong retail support in this format war.
If Blu-ray becomes the dominant HD movie format, people may be more inclined to see the value of PS3's inclusion of Blu-ray support. Certainly, PS2's support of the then-fledgling DVD format helped it greatly. Will Sony's bet pay off? This holiday season looks to be a decisive one." - Andrew Yoon

I just saw Home Media Magazine's BD vs HDDVD sales for the week ending 7/22.... blu ray has sold 74% of the high def DVDs....HDDVD has sold 26% this last week.
It looks like BD is winning a lot faster than I expected it to. =)

Spielberg has control over a lot of his films. I think after what happened with Jaws on HD DVD earlier this year it is safe to assume that Close Encounters is going to BD with his blessing.

And are the films selling better? If they aren't, that's just one number. Average sales and percentiles are just as important.

Spieldberg was real hesitant to dive into DVD, and he is one of the few directors who has almost total control over what happens to his films. I think it is safe to say he at least approved it being released on Blu-Ray.
The Target announcement certainly doesn't help things. Expect more to follow suit. It is not a retailer's job to keep a dying format alive.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

This post doesn't make any sense at all to me, and I tried to figure out what you were trying to say. With numbers like 74% to 26%, how could Blu-Ray films not be selling better, based on averages or what ever method you want to use?
