"Transformers" Breaks HD DVD Records


Well either everyone just loves this movie or every geek with an HD DVD player ran out and bought the "Transformers". As it became the biggest HD selling movie of all time, not that it's been a long time since these formats have been out, but it's still impressive none the less. In one week, "Transformers" sold more than 190,000 HD-DVD's. Of course that still pales in comparison to the 4.5 million units sold on regular DVD.

It's looking more and more like I may be a future owner of a HD DVD player.

Of course, my dumb ass pre-ordered the DVD and it came in the mail the day before I decided to walk into Best Buy and buy the HD-DVD for Xbox 360 (with my free copy of Heroes Season 1 by the way). Now I feel obliged to buy the HD-DVD. Speaking of which, why didn't they just call it HDVD to make it a little easier to type and say without sounding like a stumbling idiot.

"HDVD"

That's a good question Malcolm. Makes sense.

It is definitely worth stating at the moment that Transformers in 1080p goodness is a true thing of beauty. I absolutely love it!
