BestBuy Comments

I was just at BestBuy loading up on some movies. I walked by the TV's as I always do and came across a couple probably 50ish who were discussing with a salesmen Blu vs HD.

I listened for a bit, the salesmen was pretty neutral. So I continued to the movie section. I laughed because I noticed some fellow Blu lovers must of been in the store today.

In the HD-DVD section there was multiple Blu discs sitting in front. I chose not to move them and let them be. So as I was picking up my movies and that couple came by, so I figured I'd give them a little Blu education. After a few examples I gave them as to why Blu will win, and why to go Blu the husband says to me.

"Blu-Ray must be confident that they'll win considering their prices for players are 3 times the cost of HD-DVD"

So I replied, "You could say that, but Tosihba just lowered the price of their HD-DVD players to $99. With a format war going on, and it still being a new technology on the market what does that tell you?"

His wife summed it up perfectly "It tells me they are desperate and probably losing" I nodded my head. So I pointed them to our site here to get a list of movies available, and to read up on Blu. They thanked me, and went on their way. So hopefully we'll have 2 new Blu members to the family.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
