In the first 11 weeks of 2008 Blu-Ray has moved over 3 million units [movies].

Blu-Ray is on track to move 15 million+ units [movies] in 2008.

What the hell are you talking about.. Sales have NEVER been more miserable for Blu-Ray. Go look at the latest numbers. I don't even know where you are getting those ridiculous estimates.

THE DEAD HD DVD had Number 1 title in the top 10 HD movies. Are you dumb? People are slowing down purchases. Movies are simply TOO EXPENSIVE.

And to grow, again, something you simply seem to lack capacity to comprehend is for a standard to grow you need to sell HARDWARE not movies.

Blu-ray Disc sales continue to pick up steam, with total U.S. sales since inception (about a year-and-a-half-ago) hitting 9 million units through March 16, according to HMR research.

In just 11 weeks this year, BD unit sales have hit 3 million units, seemingly putting the format on pace to easily hit at least 15 million units for 2008.

After averaging weekly sales ranging from 200,000 - 300,000 the past two months or so, sales spiked up to 319,000 units, driven by Miramax's release of "No Country For Old Men."

The Oscar-winner, despite having few special features of any kind, sold a whopping 68,000 units the week ending March 16.

JDS, why keep baiting and bashing like this? Just sit back and enjoy the now undeniable fact that Blu-ray is in no way going to die out soon as the naysayers kept predicting. We're going to be able to buy glorious 1080p releases on Blu-ray for many, many years to come.

My wallet will hate it, but my eyes and ears are going to love all the BDs I'll be buying over the next decade or so!
