Just left Blockbuster... listen to this... - Blu-ray Forum

cowy15 · 01-08-2008, 02:25 PM

i went to my local blockbuster to rent sunshine to see if i like it before i bought it, and i asked the guy working when will blu ray be available to rent since other stores are carrying them to rent, and he said never, because blu ray is predicted to fall this year and they are going to only carry hd dvd starting in February?? Isn't that odd??

I bet he was a 17 year old pimply faced teenager. I wouldn't put much stock in what a floor employee says. Blu-ray has won for all intents and purposes. No need to panic.

That guy is misinformed.

Sounds like Blockbuster guy used to work for Best Buy, as he knows about as much. Maybe Blockbuster got a deal to go HD-DVD Exclusive, LOL.

I buy highdef software for a lot of Blockbuster stores (franchise) and I can assure you there is no said deal with HD-DVD.

Infact, all Blockbuster franchises were offered a special deal from their distributor to bring in catalog for a very cheap price if they haven't yet decided to jump into the format.

This just sounds like a kid who is upset Blu-ray has won and his chosen format is going the way of divix.

Note: People that work at Blockbuster work there for a reason. Think about it.

Because the job economy sucks.

And if you don't exhibit the same traits as a sociopath, it's rather difficult to get a job?

I just left McDonald's and asked about new menu options. Apparently, according to the well-informed cashier, McDonald's is poised to purchase a number of high profile restraurants owned by some of the finest chefs, including Emeril, Wolfgang Puck, and the majority of restaurants mentioned in the Zagat survey.

You see how rumours can be spread. Do not post threads that are based on retarded information from poorly educated plebes. Let the stock boy give his insider information. If he knew better, he would be at least the shitty manager that never stepped out of his office to speak with the public.

Using Blockbuster's rational, I guess McDonald's will offer only the McRib and their old-school coffee.
