I hope this becomes more common as time goes on. :up:

No wonder blu has a 2 - 1 advantage in sales over HD. How many times have retailers had cheap blu promotions like this compared to HD???

xfilekr 08-19-07 09:11 AM

Thanks

jrobinson 08-19-07 09:21 AM

thanks. ordered black hawk down

Sparrow 08-19-07 09:44 AM

Thanks Pro-B, I've wanted to pick up House of Flying Daggers for some time, I'll do that today.

I already have Kung Fu Hussle, but I may finally pick up Black Hawk Down.

BTW, word of warning. House of Flying Daggers looks pretty terrible. I would suggest reading the two reviews here before buying it if you already have it on DVD. I rented it and it is not worth the upgrade.

To be fair:

If that were true that means all it takes for Blu-Ray to maintain a 2-1 advantage is selling the exact same Sony titles at discount prices every 4-6 weeks. Titles like Underworld: Evolution, HoFD, Into The Blue, stuff like that. Not exactly the best films on the format. If that's all it takes, what does that say about HD DVD's appeal?

I have yet to see any truly popular titles on BD (Casino Royale, Departed, 300, etc.) ever come below $20.

Meanwhile Fry's has had their share of 13.99 sales for WB HD-DVD's as well, including titles like Batman Begins (still HD exclusive), GoodFellas, Full Metal Jacket and more.

Not to mention HD DVD was giving 5 free away by mail (and 3 free) long before Blu-Ray. I'd bet those titles would have seen similar regular discounts at retail if they weren't being given away.

Let's not get crazy and say Kung Fu Hustle is winning the war for Blu-Ray. The 65/35 split on 300 is winning it. The over 2:1 ratio for Disturbia is winning it.

I now return you to our regularly scheduled topic.

The Bus 08-19-07 12:08 PM

I don't care which sells more, I want titles to be cheaper. :)

PopcornTreeCt 08-19-07 12:24 PM

I ordered Black Hawk Down and I don't even have a Blu-Ray player...yet.

Flynn 08-19-07 01:34 PM

Got BHD, UWE and KFH. Already had House. Thanks again!

asianxcore 08-19-07 02:41 PM

Might have to go out and pick up Underworld Evolution.

Thanks Pro-B!

stingermck 08-19-07 03:51 PM

There seeme to be more <$20 sales on Blu-ray titles, than HD. :(

theWitcher 08-19-07 04:08 PM

I just noticed that Amazon also has KFH and HoFD for $14.99. A buck more, but no tax and free shipping for some.

Also 'Layer Cake,' 'Memento,' and some other Sony titles.

Bacon 08-19-07 05:49 PM

I for one won't be shopping at Worst Buy until they treat HD DVD equaly

silentbob007 08-19-07 09:59 PM

Well ... my current plan is to not buy titles in HD that I already have and am happy with ... but I can't turn down BHD at that price. Thanks.

QuePaso 08-19-07 11:14 PM

House of flying daggers is worth it for the audio upgrade alone. It is one of the nicest PCM tracks ive yet to listen to. If you are a fan of the movie, it is a no-brainer.

paulringodaman 08-20-07 12:53 AM

wow these are getting cheaper and cheaper

Ocelot 08-20-07 09:59 AM

BHD is good enough to bite, already got HoFD and KFH (B1G1 free deal a while back, which is cheaper than the current sale price). Meh for UE, still a bit too high (definitely bite if it's under $15).

thanks op.
