Re: 90,000 HD DVD players sold in one weekend

dguisinger, and example of your rudeness is telling me to get a life ... how would you feel if I told you I was in a wheel chair and was terminally ill?

You don't know anything about me ... so please don't toss around comments like that ... you never know who you're insulting.

Playing the pity card. Go home.

i'd say hurry up and die, so we can have some peace and quiet

Bubble,

Now, you're simply lying. Anybody can go to DVD Empire and see the figures. Add up the Blu-ray margin over HD DVD month by month for the first eleven months of this year and then divide by eleven. You get 56.75% for Blu-ray and 43.25% for HD DVD. That even more in favor of HD DVD than my 3:2 margin count.

As I keep saying, a troll, plain and simple. And he/she will continue to come back and troll with response after response until the editor finally bans him/her.

You're mistaken John. Look at the yearly stats here:

http://www.dvdempire.com/Content/Features/hidef_wars.asp

For 2007 Blu-ray is at 61.61%, HD DVD is at 38.39%

Puccio, how do we notify the editor about bubblebath? Normally I don't go this far, but this person, aside from their format choice, is quite annoying.

Bubblebath:

Is that links you're posting over again? Still here trolling? Well you asked for it!

Since you repost the same crap over and over.. I will start to do the same.

Transformers outsells Spiderman 3 on HD and DVD

The numbers are finally in for Spiderman 3 on Blu-Ray and DVD and both have fallen short of Transformers. Spiderman 3 was the best selling Blu-Ray title to date, selling 130,000 copies within the first six days. However, Transformers managed to sell 190,000 on HD DVD. This number has been disputed by Blu-Ray fanatics, but with no proof to back it up and Paramount states that they have rechecked their numbers and got the same results. On DVD Spiderman 3 managed to get somewhere between 4-5 million, (Sony seemed a little more reluctant to reveal this number), where Transformers sold 8.3 million.

Thx Hendrix for one of the links.

I'll just continue to add to this and repost it whenever bubblebath continues to troll and regurgitate same ole stats and links. You wanted links bubblebath.

bubble,

Unlike some people, I'd rather do things (like think) for myself rather than be talked into something by a salesperson. As I said, add up the numbers yourself (DVD Empire is not counting the first week of this month and neither, conveniently, are you). My numbers are up-the-minute. But not even counting this month, the margin for Blu-ray is much closer to 3:2 than 2:1, and you know it. That's why I am convinced you are a troll (and a shill).

cellien,

The editor has not listed his e-mail address since the site upgrade. I don't know why. However, if anyone has any complaints, criticisms, or concerns for the editor, send them to me and I'll pass them along. I list my e-mail address in my profile.

John

If I get banned then that just shows that I was right all along about this being an HD DVD biased site that can't handle facts that aren't in their favor.

Either way I'm happy.

man, you've really compiled those links. i'm impressed, I don't have the time to dig through the internet to prove how wrong bubbles is.
