Daft buyers 

Did they not go to the cinema to see how bloody awful the film was?

Happy

Yeah, they wanted to get a home copy so they could slo-mo the action scenes and work out what was going on.

Hoi! 

Alert

You still your quivering meat-flaps! Personally I thought it was better at home given that, on the smaller screen, the robot fight scenes become much more decipherable.

Whatever... 

I thought it rocked!

Well except for the bit when the house gets trampled on - that was cheesy.

So what's the *real* number? 

How many of those were purchased by Toshiba and Paramount agents and employees to boost sales figures? 50%? 75%?

Should have released it on BD 

They'd sell a lot more if it was on Blue-ray Disk. Fools.

...so impressed with BR that you can't even spell it correct - congrats.

You clearly work in marketing too so i'll bow to your superior knowledge of why they'd sell more, i mean it obviously wouldn't be anything other than pure speculation now would it?

I also very much doubt the discs were bought by agents or employees to boost sales... given that so many bought it on DVD it kind of suggests it's a popular film.

Which top-of-the-line graphics card should I buy?
