For the endcap/merchandising plans at Walmart, anything upcoming for HD-DVD as well?

(Pro-blu signature under construction)

Nope, the promotion is strictly for Blu-Ray.

I hear that Dairy Queen is announcing a new blizzard flavor tomorrow morning at 10am PDT. Maybe someone got their dates and press conferences messed up?

Lol.. ok, who is P-man and who is Amir?? I keep seeing them referenced.

Mericalis · 09-27-2007, 02:31 AM

LOL...600+ posts in just 4.25 hours.

p-man (penton man) is an insider who is pro blu-ray and regurlarly posts on blu-ray.com; Amir is a schmuck.

No it isn't. Nickerson used to work for Toshiba. WB has always liked the Blu technology.

He has a post at 9:49 PM EST saying he's going to have dinner, so that doesn't quite work, unless he has dinner at very odd times of the day. He's probably on the West Coast of the US.

TruBlu2 · 09-27-2007, 02:33 AM

Stop talking about that Amir guy. He is an idiot and deserves nothing in return.

Lets not bring that idiot to this wonderful forum.

I can think of a few more words that fit better to describe Amir...let's just say that he makes Communism look like a Democracy.

kotton247 · 09-27-2007, 02:34 AM

you know how I feel about this? I belive the guy, because he has never lied before. He may be new, but he hasn't lied yet. So if tomorrow there is nothing, then I'll never believe him again. So right now I trust this report.

What'sHD · 09-27-2007, 02:34 AM

Did anyone search through the post-history of the insiders to check which one is "suddenly" off-radar?

Personally, I think this is Max (of course, assuming legitimacy of OP).

RogueLeader1138 · 09-27-2007, 02:34 AM

for me, the biggest reason to think this is false is that WB has been saying they would hold off on exclusivity until after the holiday shopping season

On the other hand, perhaps they have realized that supporting Blu-ray exclusively would just about guarantee its victory, making BD the safe choice

With that said, I'm still only giving this a 30% chance of being true... and I'm an optimist

I can forgive that you don't know who Amir is. But we'll have to ban you for not knowing who Penton is. So sorry.

jon s · 09-27-2007, 02:38 AM

You guys really need to get a life...

Just wait until tomorrow... if it happens it happens.... if not...

If this turns out to be true, and it is also true that it's an insider posting under a new name from a "public computer", then I think you got the right one/insider.

(Again, assuming legitimacy of OP...)

OP mentions going for dinner at 9.42 GMT. So, it is not someone in the US of A, east or west coast.

Whoever it is (insider or liar) is prob in EU territory... Max, is it thou?
