On April 15th, members of the AVS Forum organized a HD-DVD buying spree with the hopes of overtaking the monthly dominated Blu-ray sales. AVS members chose April 15th because it would mark the one year anniversary of HD-DVD. This structured spending spree was clearly labeled a success as retailers witnessed thousands of HD-DVD titles being bought off of Amazon and other major HD-DVD retailers such as Best Buy.

In retaliation, the Blu-ray camp and PlayStation fanbase, out of surprise at the success of the stunt, decided to hold their own "Buy-A-Thon," but vowed to accomplish even greater sales numbers...




Light Blue = Blu-ray
Black = Hd-dvd

oh wait, DVD is still murdering them both.

Get this crap out of here. And dont even try to use the excuse that its system wars. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD arent even systems.USSJAndrew

i remember last year lems made many threads about hd dvd owning blu ray.  with all those articles on how the picture is sharper and better on hd dvd.  and also the sales of both too.  hmmmmmmm hippo 

oh wait, DVD is still murdering them both.

I don't think we'll see either defeat DVD for a very long time.

I doubt anyone expected them to immediately start outselling DVD though.

its over for hddvd..blue ray is the winner

more blue ray movie to release this week

Blu-ray Movie Releases

• Deja Vu
• Failure to Launch
• Night at the Museum
• Planet Earth: The Complete Collection
• The Queen
• Secret Window
• Ultimate Avengers Collection

well...

even with that Wallmart strategy of providing millions of HD-DVDs for sale at $199-299, it can't compete with Blu-Ray's library...

and Blu-Ray will probably have a price drop soon, Sony won't let themselves lose the ball on that one. 

And in other news, DVD is smoking them both so badly they aren't even a blip on the retail radar.Newsboy

what a short-sighted view of the situation.

That's always what happens when new technology comes out. It takes a slow start, but steadly wins over the last media format. In a couple years, the situation will be quite different.

 The fact of the matter is a majority of people out  there still like and care about DVDs and DVDs are still owning both bluray and HD-DVD. It all comes down to need. The bottom line is the everyday joe out there really doesnt  want a new format.

You know I dont know  when  a majority of cows became audio/videophile junkies and got caught up in this whole bluray, format war crap. You know what I think though the only reason why cows care about bluray is because of one thing alone...it has the Sony PS brand name behind it. If it didnt cows would not even be interested in this; hell they prolly wouldnt even know about bluray. I guess when you spend 600+ on something like bluray I guess you kind of have to care about it.

Anyway it is funny people in both camps make soo much noise about these two formats and who is going to win et cetera when the "format war" has just barely started.

 Me neither.

Well this topic is mostly refering to the influence these formats could have in this gens console war. Why else would it be here if that was not the case? The problem is that put a couple of more years to your couple of years and if the situation is not that different as you say, then this gens console race is pratically over.

Then again I'm not really arguing, as I do agree with you. But, who really knows what will happen? Thats mostly my point. 

oh wait, DVD is still murdering them both.

Led_poison

agreed.

p.s. this isn't format wars.  

and dvd is winning

good day

well, for everyone that insists that DVD is still outselling both next gen format discs:

the PS2 is still winning over the next-gen, so what?

new techs start slow, but they end up winning over what's getting old in the market.

Either Blu-ray or HD-DVD, in a few years, will dominate the market.

My bet is that it'll be Blu-ray... it just has a great library!

DVDs also did cost a lot in the beginnig... things will change. Blu-ray and Hd-dvd will get cheaper... and probably it won't take long. 

Oh yes 1 more win for blu-ray
