Sold out at local Best Buy

Sold out at local Wall Mart ( got last copy).

First time I see a sold out Blue Ray.

Can't wait to see this week's Blue Ray number.

This is the first blockbuster movie to be released in Blue Ray since HD-DVD is dead...

Ironically it started off the DVD buying season? One movie cannot save an entire format and if it is one movie, it wont be Iron Man.

It's not going to save the format, but watch as Blue Ray market share starts raising as more and more BlockBuster come out in that format on their release day with no competiting HD format...
Next week : Indiana Jones !

@jenny

how the hell have you not been banned yet!

The better question is why he's back. Didn't I perma ban him once? Sigh, I have to do everything...

Anyways, I'm assuming this data is anecdotal?

@montanahatchet

is it a she or a he?? Jenny is a name for a she-elf

 The Dark knight should spice things up to

By the way where do you get your Blu-ray numbers from?

Someone makes a post every week here, I forgot who it is...

They only track market shares, not actual sales number...

Day One/Week One numbers are always going to cast Blu-Ray in an overly favorable ligbt, because the extreme videophiles who rush out to buy a new release as soon as it comes out are the same people who are willing to shell out big money for HD equipment.

A better evaluation would be comparing sales of Blu-Ray against DVD over, say, six months to a year. That's a major reason why Blu-Ray sales have been so slow when new releases weren't appearing - all the videophiles buy them right away at release.

I'm sure the Blu-Ray group will crow about the amazing revenue for week one sales of Iron Man... but that's not really going to tell us much one way or another.

PS: Tracking "market share" is a great way to disguise actual performance.

Just bought it on DVD the other day, quite happy. :)
