Wall-E (Three-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy and BD Live) [Blu-ray]
DEC. 29 | Amazon.com customers bought a lot of copies of WALL-E this year. But they loved comedian Jeff Dunham more.
The world's largest Internet retailer said today that WALL-E, the Walt Disney/Pixar film about a waste-collecting robot, was the e-tailer's best-selling DVD in 2008. The film, which grossed more than $500 million after its June theatrical release, also was Amazon's best-selling DVD during the holiday season, along with The Dark Knight, the company said in a separate report last week.
Still, the DVD most positively reviewed by Amazon customers this year was Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity, the 2007 release featuring the Texas-based stand-up comedian and ventriloquist. Almost 90% of the 750 people who reviewed the title on Amazon gave it a five-star rating.
Among videogame items, Nintendo's Wii videogame console was Amazon's best-selling product this year, beating out rival gaming platforms Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. Wii also dominated Amazon's holiday sales among videogame hardware and software.
Amazon, which doesn't disclose unit sales of its DVDs, generated $7.44 billion in media sales, which include DVDs, CDs and books, for the first nine months of 2008, up 26% from a year earlier, the company said in October. [Source from: videobusiness.com]
