The extra-wide device will sport an 8-inch screen with 1600×768 resolution and come with the ever-popular Intel Atom processor. Price looks to be about 1000, which is pricey for a netbook. So Sony appears to be cornering/creating the premium netbook niche. So expect CES to be very laptop-centric when the show kicks off on Thursday. Overall, Blu-ray has accounted for about 13 percent or 7 million copies of the 5 million copies of the movie sold so far, reports High-Def Digest: Widely expected to one of the formats all-time time sellers, Batmans high-def bow was sure to be impressive, and indeed its 7 million worldwide opening salvo handily trumped the previous record-holder for first week sales, Paramounts Iron Man which is now reported to have approached 500, 000 units in its opening frame. According to studio estimates, The Dark Knights Blu-ray sales accounted for almost 13 percent of the 5 million combined Blu-ray and DVD sales for the title thus far. Domestically, The Dark Knight sold over 1 million Blu-ray units in its first week, including the blockbuster 600, 000 first-day sales of the title reported earlier this week. Warner expects sales to continue strongly throughout the holiday season, with final 2008 sales for The Dark Knight expected to top over 2 million worldwide. The real question, though, is whether The Dark Knight has any coattails. In other words, did people who previously did not own Blu-ray players buy them because of this movie and, if so, will they buy any other Blu-ray movies? Or will this be their only Blu-ray movie purchase, and now theyll just go back to watching DVDs on their new Blu-ray players? If the movie industry really wants Blu-ray to supplant DVD, then I think Andrew is right: Blu-ray movies have to be as cheap as DVD movies. The price of the players themselves is less important, since thats a one-time expense. But most people, especially in the current economy, probably arent going to build a Blu-ray library if each movie costs 10 to 20 more than the same movie on DVD. The entry More than 1 million Blu-ray copies of The Dark Knight sold in the first weekis tagged: Blu-ray, The Dark Knight If this indeed is the make or break period for Blu-ray, then these initial sales results have to be encouraging for fans of the high definition format. Researchers found that consumers bought 147, 000 standalone Blu-ray players the week of Thanksgiving, up 300 percent from the same period in 2007, while Blu-ray movie sales quadrupled from that same period. Full release is after the break. And among HD television owners, Blu-ray players are the number one most-wanted Christmas gift. On the movie side, The Dark Knight apparently sold 600, 000 copies on Blu-ray on its release day on Tuesday, beating the previous record of 260, 000 set by Iron Man several weeks ago. And the Los Angeles Times reports that the new Batman movie sold almost three million discs overall on release day, meaning that Blu-ray accounted for about 25 percent to 30 percent of all copies sold. Its encouraging, Ron Sanders, president of Warner Home Video, told the Times. The Blu-ray sales of Dark Knight were exceptionally strong and much higher than our projections. Theres a lot of talk about nesting during recessions, of people ditching expensive outings and vacations and opting to entertain themselves at home. There are signs that this impulse will benefit the video game industry, and now it looks like it could help the Blu-ray movie industry, as well. What are alien apocalypse 2005 purchase plans for the latest Batman extravaganza? Andrew D. SmithGuest blogger Entertainment companies believe a better product should command a higher price. When music moved from cassette tapes to CDs, prices rose from 10 to 17, even though CDs cost less to make. Movies, meanwhile, often cost 15 more on Blu-ray than they do on DVD. I understand the reasoning here, but its self-defeating. For one thing, entertainment options are proliferating. People have more options than ever, so if record companies and movie studios want to maintain their market share, they simply have to keep offering people a better experience for the same or alien apocalypse 2005 money. Whats more, people have a mental picture of the fair price for any product or service. Companies that charge more than a fair price will anger consumers and drive them away. This is particularly dangerous for the entertainment industry because it is so easy these days to take their product for free. If people feel that Hollywood is trying to rob them, they wont hesitate to rob Hollywood.
