Shocker: Amazon's Blu-ray BOGO boosts BD rankings

by Darren Murph posted Jan 2nd 2008 at 6:17PM


We know, it's tough to believe, but Amazon's recent Buy 1 Get 1 free offer on Blu-ray titles has skyrocketed a number of BD films to the top of its curiously named DVD rankings. Granted, we saw the exact same thing happen to the red camp just days ago, but just in case the dead horse needed one more thumping, it's pretty safe to say that lowering disc prices will net a hefty gain in sales. At one point earlier today, the entire top ten list consisted of Blu-ray films, and currently, a majority of those positions are still being claimed by BD titles. So before you jump all down the other camp's throat about sales figures, you may want to give the lion's share of credit to lower prices, plain and simple.

Charted: HD DVD vs. Blu-ray

Charts. Oh how people love 'em. The DVD Wars have taken the time and effort to compare HD DVD and Blu-ray with the data off Amazon. They charted everything from the average selling price to the sales ranking of the titles. HD DVD does come out on top of almost all these categories, but then again, we are still 30 days away from Blu-rays launch.


Just for good measure, we wanted to compare HD DVD against Blu-ray Google style. Again, it seems HD DVD has taken the cake, but this time it is general searches and news articles.
