Yesterday saw Microsoft finally flex some muscle on behalf of the HD DVD format by giving away five free movies with each HD DVD drive for the Xbox 360 console sold.
Today, the HD DVD camp is celebrating again as the Transformers HD DVD has become the biggest selling HD DVD movie to date.
Dreamworks and Paramount have announced that in the US the movie sold over 100,000 HD DVDs on Day One and over 190,000 by the end of the first week. This makes it the fastest selling HD movie yet, displacing the singing penguins of Happy Feet.
The movie will not be available on Blu-ray either since Paramount recently pulled a U-turn and ditched the Sony format for a reputed ‘exclusivity’ fee of £75m.-Martin Lynch
