Re: Best looking movie when upscaled

Sigh. So what you're saying is that when a movie is available on DVD and bluray people are buying the bluray version instead huh. So I'm guessing by that example the bluray version of..say...I Am Legend outsold the DVD version.

Yes, people are picking up the Blu-ray version instead of the standard DVD. English may not be your first language (it's not mine either), so I'll give you a break in your mediocre reading ability. No where did I say the MAJORITY of people have abandoned the standard DVD format. However, people are definitely buying the Blu-ray versions instead when provided the choice. In fact, lately many new day and date releases on Blu-ray represent over 10% of sales which is rather significant and already places the format way beyond "niche" status.

Skyhawk, you're my new Comical Ali

Now as far as what you're saying the same can be said for HD DVD's and even movie downloads.

By the way, english IS my first language.

1. There is no such thing as a day & date HD DVD release. Blu-ray won the format war. Remember?

2. Movie (legal) downloads are a rental model option and do not currently compete directly for media sales. Perhaps someday they will cannibalize conventional rental B&M outlets.

I'm watching THE ISLAND and it looks very good upconverted.

Now that the last big release has come and gone for HD DVD (I Am Legend) I definitely see bluray sales going up. I don't expect Twister to be a big seller on HD DVD.
