This promotion is aimed at helping new Full HD TV owners maximise the potential of their new purchase, and add a new dimension to their home entertainment experience with features such as 7.1 channel audio capability, Bonus View and BD-Live.
Toby Barbour, head of strategy and brand development at Sony Australia commented “Sony has been at the forefront of the Blu-ray format since its inception and this offer is no exception. The opportunity to combine a smoother picture with Motionflow, Full HD resolution and the latest Blu-ray content is an experience not to be missed”.
“High speed action scenes in Hollywood Blu-ray blockbusters will never have looked better. With a limited number of Blu-ray players available though – only 20,000 – the offer won’t last long.”

“At the end of 2008, over 450,000 Blu-ray players (including PLAYSTATION®3) had already been sold in Australia and an estimated 750,000 Blu-ray Disc titles. There are more than 520 Blu-ray Disc titles available for sale in Australia today, and we have already released 15 BD-Live enabled titles.”

- sales of Blu-ray movies last year totalled $25,974,000, a 357 per cent increase on the previous year (Australian Visual Software Distributors Association)

- With Iron Man and The Dark Knight, released towards the end of last year, one in five discs sold was Blu-ray.
- In the 21 months since Blu-ray was launched, the format had been taken up by 5.3 per cent of households in Australia - It took us 12 months more to hit that number with standard definition DVD (Warner Bros)
- 35 per cent of sales at Warner Bros were for back catalogue titles, indicating that consumers are replacing their libraries of regular DVDs with Blu-ray titles.
- The PS3 makes up 80-85 per cent of all Blu-ray player sales.
- A new report "The State of Home Video," by SNL Kagan claims that the current impact of Blu-ray has been relatively minor (standard DVD still comprises 97.1% of the market), SNL Kagan projects that high-definition DVD will attain 59.7% market share in 2014, with $13.1 billion in revenue.

- In 2008, approximately 36 million units were sold of Blu-ray titles, an increase of over 300% from the previous year.
