Amazon - Round 4. Blu-ray in third - Blu-ray Forum

I can't believe it myself, but a Samsung Blu-ray player lost to a Toshiba HD player and some Tivo thing. The winning price on the HD player and Tivo would be $149 to Blu's $249.

500 "winners" will pick up the HD player for $149. It got 49% of the votes to Blu's 23%.

I wouldn't worry. Considering the PS3 is breaking sales records in every region of the world right now, I think that Toshiba should prepare to invest heavily in K-Y.

A few million PS3 units will be sold worldwide this holiday, so 500 from Amazon's sale of crappola is about as significant as a fart in a hurricane.

Oh, I'm not worried, I just can't believe it.

the majority of people voting (not interrested in blu-ray/hd media in general) will vote for the product with the largest price/discount margin.
