Blu-ray Hits Key Milestone Faster than Standard-Def

Posted by Zonk on from the bond-blu-bond dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Slashdot has already reported on the go-go sales for the 'Casino Royale' Blu-ray on Amazon, but now comes news that the same Blu-ray disc is the first high-def disc to ship 100,000 units within the United States. It took standard-def DVD eleven months to reach that retail milestone (in 1998 with 'Air Force One'), but with 'Royale,' the nine-month old Blu-ray format now has done it two months faster."

    Well, it's 2 months faster -- 11 months - 2 months = 9 months or almost 20% faster.

    Wait, my keyboard is being taken ove----

    Great! So now we can say that Blu-Ray hit the 100,000 unit milestone at almost twice the rate of population growth since 1998! Thanks, Intron!
