For anyone that had doubts or concerns about downloads, etc. Looks like bluray is thankfully doing well so far.

Despite the economic downturn, consumers are embracing the Blu-ray Disc in impressive numbers. Greenfield and Zogby International conducted consumer surveys in December and found that Blu-ray Disc players and BD movies rank high on consumers gift lists. Greenfield found that BD players were the number one desired gift among HD display owners. Zogby found a nearly identical finding, putting a BD player as number two, just behind an additional HD display.

Numbers are not yet compete for the holiday season I don't expect those for another week or so. But indications are that the fourth quarter was better than BD advocates expected. I previously reported that consumers purchased nearly 149,000 dedicated Blu-ray players, excluding PS3s, during the week of Thanksgiving, a 300% increase compared to the same period in 2007. During 2008, discs have been selling briskly as well, doubling BD's market share of the top twenty between March and mid-December
