$900 per month seems expensive. Is it even worth it?
Shintaiju is a service for a company not for private use.
Among this autumn anime series. Blu-ray Disc of these three titles will be released simultaneously with DVD.
"Toaru Majutsu no Index"
"Kemoko Deluxe"
"ef -the tale of melodies-"
So the DVD ranks and the numbers of copies sold will be inaccurate with these titles.

Wow, BD outsold DVD That's awesome.
And you need to sign up to look at the charts? That seems a bit weird.
Oricon is running business by selling data, so only the ranks are provided for free. If I had money, I could have a ShinTaiju account...
Here is the BD ranking (rank only) for Sep 22 - 28
1, Macross Frontier vol.2
2, Code Geass R2 vol,2
3, Code Geass vol.2
4, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 vol.3
5, Full Meta Panic! TSR
6, Macross Frontier vol.1 * 10th week
7, Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO vol.1
8, Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO vol.2
9, Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO vol.3
10, Code Geass R2 vol.1 *sixth week
Macross Frontier Blu-ray vol.3 got the top in the weekly General BD ranking for Oct 20 -26. Volume 1 and 2 also got the top in the July and September ranking, respectively.

I'm interested to know how Macross Frontier's blu-ray sales were. While it's fairly certain DVD sales will be higher, it'd still be nice to know how BD is doing there. With the OSTs selling so well I wonder how combined DVD/BD sales are going, actually... o.O
I also wanna know the BD sales numbers but the data available so far are only these:
Macross Frontier first week's sale
DVD vol.1 17,548
BD vol.1 22,000
The BD numbers are provided by Oricon Shin Taiju service, which requires $900 per month. I only have an account in YouTaiju ($10 per month).
