Thread closed so that no-one can post comments as suggested but as a matter of interest why don't you post the figures for SD discs too or is this just supposed to be proving a hidef point

It looks like high def sales have taken off at Amazon.

Now there's currently a '3 for 2' sales on selected HD DVD & BD titles, and sales there often do well at sales times, but this is far bigger than I've ever seen before, and that perception is born out by e-product wars, etc.

HD DVD are doing particulasrly well, but BD are good too.

Amazon Top 50 DVDs includes:

4. 300 HD DVD
7. 300 BD
9. Heroes HD DVD
13. The Departed HD DVD
14. Casino Royale BD
15. POTC (COTBP) BD
17. POTC (DMC) BD
22. Shaune of the dEad HD DVD
24. The Fifth Element BD
28. Bourne Supremecy HD DVD
33. Happy Feet HD DVD
34. Apocalypto BD
36. Batman Begins HD DVD
39. The Big Lebowski HD DVD
40. TMNT HD DVD
43, Blood Diamond HD DVD
44. Planet Earth HD DVD
45. The Departed BD

18 in the Top 50 isn't bad, even if there is a sale on!
