hdblu.com — While there has been much focus on the developing battle between Blu-ray and HD DVD, it seems that both formats are underperforming with consumers in the early going. Thus far, only $30M has been spent by consumers on the new formats, $25M on hardware and $5M on software, as reported by Reuters.

I agree. What is the point of having the newest technology without the newest movies?However Underworld:Evolution was a bit back.oh and a couple points could be its your favourite flick, or its just a good movie.

aiken, I think he means that the minor increase in pic/sound quality in no way justifies the massive prices. Add to that the additional cost of a real HD capable TV and its no wonder people haven't started buying HD or bluray in any appreciable amounts.I seriously think that both formats are going to end up like Laserdisc. The insane-o-philes will buy them, but everyone else will be more than happy with their regular DVDs or internet downloads for quite some time to come.There just isn't any compelling reason for the vast majority of ppl to chose either of the HD formats over what we already have right now.

It will get faster read times as time goes on, however the general public will not notice +/- 10 sec on each without one bragging.
