My Best Buy Is Turning Blu... - Blu-ray Forum

E-Dogg · 10-26-2007, 07:37 PM

In case you don't remember a month or two back I had made an announcement that my local Best Buy was supporting Blu-Ray more than HD-DVD due to a sales increases for our format. The insider who shared that info kept true to their word and here is a picture to prove it. I have a picture to prove it, but it's not allowing me to upload it because the size is too big. Just wanted to share that tid bit of info. I live by the Mount Vernon area in New York.

Blu has an entire wall and hd has a half wall with numerous copies of the same title scattered around to make it seem like there is more stock available than actually is. Anyone who wants to see the picture I will happily email it to you for proof.

My 'slow' best buy finally doubled it's Blu area (from 5 ft to 10 ft), but they did the same for the HDDVD section.

Another Best Buy about 20 minutes away went 20 ft Blu (15 ft HD)

First of all no need for the sarcasm. I don't personally give a shit if there are a milliion threads from different people claiming there stores turned Blu. Good news is good news and should be announced. I have my BD's all on preorder with Amazon for now. I go to the store every once in a while.

I sent you the picture. You can view it for yourself.

Most stores in my area are slowly turning to the Blu side... mostly about 2 to 1... except for the Best Buys, which seem to want to still be equal.
