What if Blu supporters buy and scrap the HD-A2s? - Blu-ray Forum

jcdDigix · 11-02-2007, 04:13 AM

What if we all BD owners buy the crap A2 in the area where Toshi* players were on sale & dump them . And at the same time buy a BD movie (a Warner one).
That'd be a great way to counter M$, Universal & Tosh*t aggression! as CNBC is already claiming the duds are victorious.
I'd be more than happy to do it if you guys agree!
Let the World feel the Blu!

I wouldnt touch one with a 10ft pole, even it was free.

well...maybe just to smash one to pieces.

jcdDigix · 11-02-2007, 04:17 AM

I resent them as well, but just to burn one would be nice though.

Blu As Hell · 11-02-2007, 04:21 AM

I find the idea of buying an HD DVD player abhorrent. The thought makes me vomit in my mouth....anyway back from drama class, I wouldn't buy even to smash one to pieces I would rather see them sit on store shelves and collect dust or in the "defectives" cart at Wal-Mart because the person who bought it couldn't get their brand new shiny Pirates of the Carrabean: At World's End Blu-ray to play in it.

its a 7 minute walk to walmart from our place. I considered going and getting one of the hd dvd players tomorrow for the purpose of taping its torture and destruction. I was going to try and set up some paypal thingy to cover some of the expenses. but I was going to beat the crap out of it. taking all kinds of powertool, hand tools, electricity, fire, anything and everything. i'm a sick individual. and i'd love it. but....i'd still have to buy the damn thing. eewww.

You know...I would pay money to see that.

Hell I look at UFC and Boxing matches, why not look at HD DVD player executions.

jcdDigix · 11-02-2007, 04:51 AM

That' will be awsome. Expect a link to YouTube!

Patranus · 11-02-2007, 04:52 AM

What you should do is buy all that you can afford and then return them a week or two later.....

Wal Mart and Toshiba both look bad and ...

Beta-guy · 11-02-2007, 04:52 AM

there is no right way to deal with the $98 HD-DVD player, if we buy it it'll move us 1 step closer to being format neutral (which Toshiba wants), it would prevent 1 more non HDM person from embracing HD-DVD, if we don't buy the HD-DVD players HD-DVD gets more sales... scary idea...

X400 · 11-02-2007, 06:42 AM

buy em break em and put it on youtube?

anyway it sounds like most of the HDDVD fanboys are going to be double/triple dipping for this player

Really though, out of the 50,000 reported units left, how many do you suppose walmart and best buy have for under $100? Lets remember Amazon, Sears, C.City, All the other online and B&M retailers that have them. If 25% were sold by Walmart & Best buy i'd be suprised.

kwhiplash · 11-02-2007, 10:10 AM

What happens if you buy them at the sale price...and then wait 'til the sale is over...then return it? *Her blu horns are showing again*

kwhiplash · 11-02-2007, 10:12 AM

oh come ON! You have to admit...that is funny! hahahahahaha

no its childish , if you want to buy a player and smash then why don't you just take your money and burn it instead its equally a waste of money.

if you wanted to do something for blu ray buy some movies with you $98 instead.

Thats what we want, people who already have them to buy more. Which means the same people double/triple dipping have less money to spend on software. Software is what is most important in this war.
