Blu ray is doing well even during the slow season

Netflix, and Blockbuster also are rental sites and they have seen the rental business grow tremendously in their Blu ray side, and just modestly for the DVD side.

Those two are American, and like Nightflier said you're only comparing American market, but if you take a map..well, you'll find there are other countries too!

So what you are telling me is that every one of the 65,000 titles is being actively rented every day? Once again(and taps on that thick noggin) there are more titles on DVD because the format has been in existence for 13 years, and not for anything else but that. These are just number of availability, not numbers of active titles brightness. Next point is 1000 Blu ray titles means that is all they have had a chance to purchase, not reflective of the number of titles available. That would be about 6- 7000 if I am not mistaken.

It is quite possible with 20 million Blu ray players out there that 1 million people could have 1000 Blu ray titles active. Blu ray is still at the curiosity stage, not like DVD where renters have come to expect a certain quality through numerous exposure. Remember, this is a new format still, and the rental market is still young and not very mature.

To hell with your moronic logic. Can you then answer why Lovefilm advertises the number of dvds they have and not the number of Blu Ray? You can't! You either turn it round and start talking about other rentals, or feed us with statistics (haha).. Lovefilm shows the trend in Europe and if that hurts you, well I'm sorry, but DVDs are still popular here.
