Great job Warner. You killed HD.]]>May 6th 2009 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/May 6th 2009 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/
I'm not totally sold that BD is going to be as mainstream as DVD is, but I'm also not ruling it out at this point either. It definitely seems to be getting a little bit of traction.

At Target recently, the Blu-ray isle was full of empty slots of movies, something I had not seen before. The saleswoman told me she has seen a huge increase in sales of Blu-ray movies which is why they now have a complete isle devoted to the format, as does Walmart.

I love Squiggleslashe's remark, blaming Warner for the death of HD. A 72% increase in player sales and a 280% increase in disc sales (see Home Media Retailing issue last week of April) sure shows the death of HD discs, lol.]]>May 7th 2009 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/May 7th 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/May 7th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/
I just have to say Blu-Ray will replace DVD when more people learn that they can watch movies in greater detail on their new 1080p display. It's just a matter of time until HD VOD takes over in about 15 years and the bandwidth speeds and capacity can withstand millions of people streaming and downloading HD movies and shows.

Children are watching in HD and will want their content in HD now and in the future. Blu-Ray is just filling the current demand for HD content for now. ]]>May 7th 2009 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/blu-ray-making-greenbacks-sales-up-72-to-start-09/Maybe your soul you'd sell to have mass appeal

The real way to measure would be to compare all BD player sales, including both standalone and PS3s, year over year. Of course, we all know how the PS3 is faring, so the correct evaluation won't be made since there is a clear and prominent endorsement of Sony's technology here at EHD.]]>May 7th 2009 2:34PM
