Top DVDs: 'Potter,' 'Bourne' both take No. 1

The last big DVD duel of the year was between Harry Potter and Jason Bourne, with "The Order of the Phoenix" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" both landing No. 1 spots on the charts.

Warner Home Video's "Phoenix," fifth in the Potter series, took the top spot in sales and the second in rentals. "Bourne," from Universal, raced into No. 1 in rentals but settled for No. 2 in sales. "High School Musical 2" premiered at No. 3 for Disney.

Potter and Bourne met again on the HD DVD chart, with "Bourne" diving into first while "Phoenix" conjured up second. In Blu-rays, it was "Pirates of the Caribbean" and then "Phoenix." (Warner releases titles in both high-def formats.)

I can't be the only person in the world who dislikes the Bourne series. I'm glad to see OotP has beaten it in sales, if not in rentals. Hopefully that means few people are committed enough to Bourne to actually want to own it.
