Working at Best Buy today and telling customers about Warner Bros....

[SBrooks1]

So I work at Best Buy part time in Media (movies, music and games) and had the pleasure of telling customers in the Blu-ray/HD DVD aisle about Warner Bros going Blu. I almost felt bad for some HD DVD guys who received HD DVD players for Christmas. The disappointment was priceless. Some pro-Blu customers didn't know and loved hearing it since it put more faith into the hardware they already had be it a PS3 or a standalone. I got to tell a potential Toshiba HD DVD standalone buyer about the PS3 and Warner Bros choice and easily swayed him away from buying it. Once he heard about the wireless streaming capabilities he could do from his desktop to his PS3 he was sold. Customers really love hearing about that.

On a sidenote, in our breakroom was an industry magazine dated January 2007 previewing CES and inside was a Warner Bros ad that showed how they supported both Blu and HD DVD. Pretty funny how quickly things change.
