Jesus, I have such shitty luck. I go to Suncoast Movies and they have Bladerunner in stock. The guy in front of me buys the Ultimate version for Blu, and I ask for the Collector's Edition in Blu, and while I'm being rung up, the assistant manager comes out of the back screaming about the street date.
Guess what I didn't get to buy?

How does that even make sense? Why would I do that? Your insults are getting more retarded with each passing page.
And yeah, apparently that sale is one day only.
It wasn't meant to be.

I bet when you finally get it it will have HD-DVD discs instead of Blu-Ray in the case.Chiggs said:

Van: " I meant in hd-dvd's favor ha ha ha"
OokiethegodofallthathesurveysandallandallsupremebeingSpookie : "Not even if you blew Santa AND all of his reindeer"
Translation : Even if you blew Santa and all of his reindeer the numbers would still not be in hd-dvds favor.
Better?

Ookie, what do you mean by "by the book" source, and why would you disagree with them if they know something?

Dvdempire backs up my prediction. rawk.

Yeah, and they had the ratio as 2:1 instead of 3:1 last week, too. Looks like they skew HD-DVD.

Wait until later this week and you will see it change to favor blu again.l
This happens every week.
Doubt me?
I couldn't care less.
Probably already been posted, but I just got home from Sam's Club and they had a stack of 15 Sony BDP-S301 players for $277.56. Best deal I've seen yet on a Blu-Ray player and its available inside the Club only, no online orders.

Since no one picked up on the sarcasm, my prediction was 58/42 Blu. No way HD DVD wins a week this year. It would be fun, though, if only to see spookie have an aneurysm.
Bourne and BOGO would've been enough to pull it 52/48 or so (still Blu), but the Blu BOGO and the strong sales of Ps3 I think more than cancel out what will likely be the best HD DVD week since Transformers. I can't see the numbers getting any closer than 55/45 with the massive installed hardware lead that Blu has.

While I don't think you can call sales "strong" from a gaming standpoint, there do seem to be a significant number of people buying 40gigs for dedicated BRD use. It will be interesting to see if this continues as standalones begin to undercut its price in a significant way.

I think you can call it strong, or at least solid, from a gaming standpoint in Europe and Japan, which I think a lot of us tend to ignore...the rest of the global picture.
Blu-Ray is even stronger globally than it is domestically in the US, and I have to believe that studios take notice of this fact (hopefully Warner).

has calmed down a bit.
I haven't bought a single game on Ps3 (though I will get Uncharted and Ratchet once they come down in price). I still only have Motorstorm and I'm buying the third party games on Xbox 360. Yet I have 8 BD movies already and have a bunch more on my Netflix queue. It's definitely a Blu Ray player for me, though I know I'm in the minority in that aspect.

Off-topic.
Van, I have barely bought any games myself, but you should check out the PSN store. Most of my game-time has been spent playing the downloadables. Especially good: Super Stardust HD. Plays very, very differently from Geometry Wars while being about as intense. Also Gripshift, but the XBLA version is out and has improvements. Buy it on XBLA, it's fantastic.
