So what happened on this particular day that everybody was logged on?
Sorry if this has been brought up before. Just curious.

I believe there was a rumor that Warner would be announcing that they were going exclusively to Blu-ray, but that didn't happen that day. I could be wrong though.

Wal-mart sale

LOL I doubt we'll ever see those two words in that order again unless it's Black Friday. They may be #2 in B & M blu sales behing Best Buy but they sure aren't trying to maintain that position.

So it was a bomb hitting the Legislative House in the Phillippines that everybody had to log on that day? Or am I missing something?

Why is this being brought up almost two years after it happened?

blujacket · 08-12-2009, 08:01 PM

Fun days back then. Everyone was on the edge waiting for Warner to end the war in Blu-ray's favor.

At the bottom of the forum listings is a list of all the current users and it says, "Most users ever logged in at once" or some junk like that. It was on that day.

I thought it was the Warner announcement.

Another_Dude · 08-13-2009, 01:19 AM

The Star Wars Original Trilogy Han Shoots Only and Jar Jar Free Prequels Blu-ray Steelbook w/ Slipcover was released that day. Those of us that checked the site were able to go pick up those movies for $19.99 each at Best Buy before they sold out. As we all know, they have been out of print since then.

It was awesome.

Even SEEING those blu-ray covers(yes I know they're photoshopped from the DVD covers) makes me very sad indeed. I don't know if this makes me pathetic or not but the day those 6 films hit blu-ray will probably be the best day of my life.

DeadDog · 08-13-2009, 07:18 AM

I believe I read somewhere that there was a K-Mart coupon that was scanned and posted that allowed people to get 20 % off anything in store. It was only for employees or friends or something. Anyway, I believe everyone was printing them off and getting cheap PS3's and stuff.

I also think this is why there is a rule for having no scanned coupons in the Hot Deals section.

This is a real answer by the way

Fors* · 08-13-2009, 09:50 AM

Thanks Another Dude, I was always wondering what was going on that day as well. It all makes sense now....

Moefiz · 08-13-2009, 02:34 PM

Walmart..for Black Friday..buy a PS3 and get I believe 10-15 Blu-rays free...

That was what all the hoopla was about.

The good old days of the war...

IIRC, some external and popular site linked to us concerning a deal where you could get a $100 instant discount on your first purchase on a new Sony Style credit card. People were pointing out that meant you could get a PS/3 for $299 using the deal.

I think this was the thread

That had 17,000+ views
