"no money any more in it"?

Packaged media still makes about $15-20 BILLION dollars/year. It has already made ~$8.8 BILLION thus far in 2009 between rentals and sales, with Q4 coming up.

In the same timespan, digital delivery (including cable and sat. VOD) has made $968M.

Hmmm....$8.8B >>> $968M

Where is the money again???

Here YOU go again - the same crying ass post month after month. Guess what - for all the complaining you do - BLURAY IS STILL HERE. And it isn't going anywhere. So you can post on Engadget HD for the next decade, and bluray will still be on store shelves. So...in the real world...you lose, as all of your bluray bellyaching counts for jack.

And the key part YOU are missing is electronic sell through was slightly less than $196M. Electronic sell through is the equivalent of owning a movie. Thus, other $772M came mostly from VOD - which most people with a cable box have access to. There is no special purchase or hardware required above your service provider's STB. Funny how in your quote you chose to leave this little tidbit of info out.

Oh and percentages are a valid form of data. If bluray sold $407M this year so far, and is up 91% from last year, well, you have two of the data points needed to calculate last year's actual $$ sales. So stop complaining and get out your calculator.

Have fun fighting a losing battle against bluray. Your posts here will do nothing to stop it from growing and entering more and more homes. Sucks for you.

HD DVD, in its lifetime, sold 600k standalone players and 300k xbox add ons. Bluray standalones sold 400k units alone in Q1 2009. Yet we are supposed to believe that in all of 2008, HD DVD players somehow outsold bluray players, when HD DVD players were gone from the shelves for ~75% of the year? This poll is so flawed it's amazing to me how it made it out the door. Harris should be embarrassed.
