    What is your *personal * attach rate?

    I'm curious what everyones Blu-Ray/HD-DVD movie attach rate it?

    For those of you that do not know what attach rate means (And im not trying to sound like a pompus jerk): In the simplest of terms, it means how many Blu-Ray or HD-DVD's have you personally purchased since you bought your hardware.

    If you have both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, please share...

    NOTE: TALLADEGA NIGHTS DOES NOT COUNT, IT WAS FREE!


    NOW, please post like the example (Just copy-paste and post!):

    Equipment: PS3
    # of Blu-Ray: 3 (Swordfish, Crank (
    I got it 10 minutes ago), Black Hawk Down)
    # of HD-DVD: n/a

    Comment: If you want to comment on the above poster or quote and then talk about it, then so be it... Just please try to post in a similar mannar to my example, so its easy for everyone to view and/or discriminate between someones attach rate and another memebers question or comment!

    And most of all I hope this sparks some discussion about what people like the most, and what kind of attach rate the Ps3 is seeing. I understand there are links that show, I'm more curious about the forum seeing that many patrons bought the machine as a console first and Blu-Ray player second

    There are many Blu-Rays that I am looking at, but alot of my favorites are not out yet. I read an article today that said the average attach rate for HD-DVD (of the 175K units sold) is 24. I dont believe it, so I wanted to see my fellow gamers opinions...

    P.S. I don't know what happened to my font, after changing the NOW, it totally got crazy, sorry!

    Comment: In the near future I am going to go Blu-Ray crazy. I just love watching my favorite movies in high definition. CES 2007 really showed off some amazing titles that are a must have for me. The Matrix FTW!

    Comment: I would have several more, but our local stores are generally sold out of the ones I am looking for. I will probably buy two or three Blu-ray movies per month in lieu of the DVDs I used to buy.

    By the way, great idea for a thread! I was wondering this myself, about both Blu-ray movies and PS3 games.

    EDIT: Added Black Hawk Down and Stargate today.

    Hardware:
    60Gig PS3, 750 Gig PS3 Slim, 55" Toshiba HDTV, Sony 5.1 Surround System
    Currently Playing: Dead Island: Riptide

    Comment: I go about once every 2 weeks to buy new Blu-ray or HD DVDs as new ones come out every so often and here in Canada we usually get some releases a bit later than in the states, right now there is probably 3-4 Blu-ray discs and about 5-6 HD DVDs id buy.

    Id say renting is more accurate of how many movies of any format is watched, I think its better to see which ones are actually BOUGHT.

    That defeats the notion of attach rate. It only matters if the consumer buys them. It shows that the customer/consumer/adopter has made a commitment to the format, as well as, spent $ to keep/buy the item.

    If rented discs would count then I would have to list between 40-50 Blu-Ray movies.

    I havent even watched my Talladega yet. I saw it a few days before i got my ps3. Truthfully i didnt get it to watch movies on. i feel that it lessens the life of your console. call me crazy about not wanting to, but i still have my original ps2. i may have watched like 5 movies on it.

    At the moment I have yet to buy a Blu-Ray Disc or HD DVD. Until I get a HDTV they're fairly worthless. I was tempted to get Army Of Darkness on HD-DVD/DVD combo, but I have it on DVD already, and I wasn't going to shell out $35 for a movie I already have with no extras.

    I have bought three PS3 games though. I expect about another five in the coming months.

    A pessimist fears this is so.

    Can't wait to get a flat panel. I just might have to splurge when GT5 comes out. I can't just not be able to play when I'm moving between work and school.

    i think you should include TN, seeing as how, it's possible that not everyone got a PS3 to use as a Blu-ray player, but.. it ends at TN.. i want more, but like a previous poster, i dont have an hdtv, soo.. 19" crt is what i play on, NOT worth it.. yet..

    I buy alot of movies, I'm a big movie guy. I'm the type of person that can watch a movie for the 10th time and enjoy it just as much as the first time. That's why I buy instead of rent
