Default Blu-ray DVD?

What's Blu-ray DVD? From subheader on main page:



Seems kinda like mixing up our formats like Laserdisc VHS.

I believe that it is there purposely. A lot of people will do a search under "Blu-ray DVD" and the heading might create more hits. Once they get here, we will educate them on the format.

We're doing our best to educate people about the correct spelling and abbreviation:

But it's a double-edged sword. How are we supposed to educate these people if they aren't able to get to the site in the first place?
Its a necessary evil

I don't usually go to the main page or the forum feedback, so I never noticed this before.

But it seems like if we want to educate people it might not be good to reinforce their misconceptions in our own subhead. My company has a lot of search terms that bring customers to our website without having the text displayed.

Amazon does not or shouldnt, They have the Blu-rays sub categorized under DVD in seller tools. If blu_ray is not clicked when listing is created its set as DVD. If it says DVD just email them so it can be fixed
