Default Blu Ad campaign

Any one else see the latest push of Blu-Ray adds on HDNet Movies? I have seen the adds at least 5 times today, seems that they are playing it in between all the movies. Even with all this air-time, I don't seem to recall but one ad for red. Good to see the BDA saturating the advertising market and getting the word out!

Couple of the catchier lines are

"The perfect marriage of High Definition TV and Blu-Ray"

and

"High Definition TV and Blu-Ray, your choice is clear, the future is Blu"

Yeah, I just saw the latter. It was pretty sweet to see them crankin out the ads. It was during the Cotton Bowl I believe.

My family was watching the game, and I walked by and saw the "The Future is Blu" ad. Good to see the BDA is finally advertising. Maybe they'll take some of the load off my shoulders, lol. I can't count the number of people I've converted @ Worst Buy.

The BDA really paid for the advertising during bowl day. I have seen the "future is blue" add at least 4 times today during different games.

There's been a HUGE ad campaign within the last month. Lots of ads on VH-1 as well.

I've been seeing the 'the future is Blu' & the PS3 Blu-ray movie specific spot during every football game I've watched lately.

I was in Circuit City the other day.. lousy selection... but what was funny was that they had 3 TVs in the middle of the floor, 2 were off and 1 was playing Tranfromers HD DVD, but behind it was probably 150 HDTVs playing various Blu-ray ads! Also at Best Buy, there are 2 Blu-ray demo stations (both with different demos), 1 dual platform station advertising the speakers being used, and one HD DVD station that does not work... it only displays the Universal logo and nothing else. LOL There are always people looking at the Blu-ray selection and demos... and I never see anyone buy HD DVDs

Went to see Sweeney Todd this weekend and was pleasantly surprised when they showed a commercial for the Resident Evil trilogy on Blu-ray. The ad made no mention of the DVD - it was strictly a Blu-ray ad.

It was the first time I was happy to see a commercial before the 15 minutes of trailers at the movies!
