"For starters the box set includes 3 feature films, so 3-1 should be expected."
This would make sense if the point you were trying to make was that Matrix outsold any given Pirates movie by a 3-1 factor and they were counting them as 3 sales in one box. Even then, it's a stretch. Not really sure what the point of this is.
Bottom line is pretty clear:
- Bundling 2 so-so movies with a good one is always bad for the customer. Why should I pay $70 for 3 movies when I really just want to watch one of them.
- HD-DVD's sales are falling further and further behind. It will only get worse this month when the BDP-S300 comes out, as well as Panasonics new player. It will get MUCH worse starting in August when really good PS3 games start being released and the PS3 starts actually selling - Heavenly Sword, GTAIV, Lair, Ratchet and Clank, etc, etc will all move consoles and this means Blu-ray players.
There will always be a place in my heart for HD-DVD - it was the little format the tried and was my first HD optical disc format - but let's face it... the future is Blu and there ain't no way around that fact.
