Blu-ray players out selling HD-DVD despite...

[Groundbeef]

Sales for this week were 68-32% in Bluray's favor.

Personally I don't think the Paramount?Dreamworks deal is going to have the effect that the HD DVD PG expects. All one has to do is look at Universal HDM performance over the last 15 months or so. .

Lets see next week, after the Transformers comes out. Over on the PS3/BluRay boards everyone about soiled themselves when they realized it was going to be HD-DVD.

Percentage of sales should be a bit skewed next week. What came out last week? I don't think much for HD-DVD.

HHGREG is selling the sony blu player for 399$, which is the cheapest I have seen it.
With five free movies thats under 300 bucks for actual cost
When the actual cost of a blu player hits 250, tosh will have an even bigger problem than they do now

Groundbeef, spare us your fanboyism. Everyone knew when Paramount was paid to stop supporting bluray that Transformers was not going to come to bluray. Its now been a couple of months since the deal transpired. So if anyone soiled themselves on this, they did it in your imagination. That is all.........

Will you spare us your elitism in exchange?

That is all what? Did your brain shutdown after your hit the period?

Lets get a couple things out in the open here Mr. T. What exactly is wrong with being a fan? Companies love them, heck the industry needs them to promote their format. So unless you have something else to add, your just making more of a fool of yourself. Tired of getting your ass handed to you on the other thread, and thought you would try over here?

Second, is it worse to have an opinion about something, and not be receiving compensation for it? I mean, you seem to have it out for "industry insiders":

GB, if you are going to make a point on this issue, chose sources that are not interested parties.

You blindly believe sales figures quoted by an interested party, and take the spin as truth.

I am quick to point out that I do not listen to any sales figures, stats, or any twisted information coming from either Sony nor the BDA.

...don't listen to interested parties, they parcel and filter out information as to only suit their cause...

I use Sony source when its appropriate.

These are all quotes directly pulled from your responses on other threads relating to HD-DVD/BluRay. Then this little tidbit caught my eye:

I have over 120 HD DVD movies, and oh, I work for a studio that is exclusive to bluray.

And that doesn't call into question your intent on forwarding the BR cause? If I'm a "fanboy" as you put it, I guess you are an industry whore. Lets call a spade a spade.

Since this is not the other thread, I am not going point to point with this. You really should grow up and learn to keep the trash in one thread out of the others kid. Really.

I am going to say this though, I own 120 HD DVD disc, how many do you own? If it is not 120 or more, then I am a bigger HD DVD supporter than you are. You have a $179 HD DVD drive, I have a $650 HD DVD player. You TALK about HD DVD, I buy it. So I guess I am a HD on disc whore, a title I gladly except.

I just want to thank my mom and my dad......oops wrong venue.

I own 7. As you say "I would rather own Quality than Quantity". I own the ones I want. Not just a big wall of movies to make up for my otherwise physical inadequacies. Kinda like guys who buy expensive cars I guess...

And disc whore, and paid insider Industry Whore are two different animals. You profess to disregard info from other "Industry Insiders" but low and behold YOUR ONE OF THEM.

So now I guess we can call you the HD-DVD SuperFanboy who lives ostenatiously, and is a paid Industry Shill. Hey, if the shoe fits, wear it.
