So I am think they are pretty happy that it sold 12% of the total sales for TDK.

Since Blu-ray came out, I've been happily buying packaged media again, including TDK. I'm sure I'm not the only one among the 12% that bought the BD copy who wouldn't have bought it if it was a DVD-only release. That's why the studios are thanking Blu-ray for helping their bottom line. It's gotten consumers like me to start buying again.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mr. E]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 24th 2008 6:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Dark Knight saved 2008 for packaged media]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/the-dark-knight-saved-2008-for-packaged-media/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/24/the-dark-knight-saved-2008-for-packaged-media/</guid><description><![CDATA[I feel the same as Mr. E. <br><br>I too didnt really buy any DVD's for the last couple of years.
