Quantum of Solace: record sales
It's not exactly an earth-shattering surprise, but Quantum of Solace has become the UK's biggest-selling DVD and Blu-ray release of 2009 – so far.
On its first day of release on Monday (March 23rd), Quantum of Solace sold 522,926 units on DVD and Blu-ray combined. Around 10 per cent of those sales were on Blu-ray.
"Bond remains one of the world's largest and most successful film franchises of all time," says Anders Kloster, managing director UK, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

bought QOS FOR £6.80 at Amazon, Asda price is over £13 big difference in price If you can wait for it posting (3 days) for free delivery.
Just been told that around 10% of QoS sales (ie around 50,000) were on Blu-ray, the rest on DVD.
Blu-ray all day long if you have the right equipment i say
I've asked 20th Century Fox for a breakdown of the Blu-ray:DVD split. Waiting for a reply.
Not only Tesco doing some good deals, had the blueray from Morrisons for £15.
Has this anything to do with Tesco selling the two disc special edition DVD for £7. Other retailer's were pushing it out for £15. Is there any figures as to the actual ratio of DVD to Blu-ray sales? I still find it hard to justify £20+ for a Blu-ray when you can get the DVD for an awful lot less. I have a Panasonic DB50 and find the quality of the upscaled images and sound excellent. I know people will come back with the quality of picture and sound issues but the price of Blu-ray discs is still to far removed from what most people are prepared to pay.
