What Does Best Buy Promoting Blu-Ray Mean?

[hardcore_canadian]

I mean, they can't tell their Employees what to say, My boss tells me every day that HD-DVD is Better, and I still sell BDP-S500s like there's no tomorrow.

What does this even mean? Is it them just telling us "We as a Company Like Blu-Ray, but that doesn't really matter"

Hopefully it means "The bogo's for HD DVD we've had for the past two weeks have been clearance sales and once we're out of discs, we're not ordering any more." Otherwise, apparently they're going to have some displays to promote Blu-ray further.

What it should mean is that Best Buy is going to do their best job to promote bluray as the next gen movie media and that it will only recommend HD-DVD to those "who insist"

If you take an HD DVD disc up to the checkout, they slap you.

Only problem is, is that they were all returned a week later for a full refund or a real HD player...

Awesome News. Its also very bad business for BB to continue selling DUD players at this point as a viable, competitive HD format to choose. BB is in for the long run (unlike Toshiba) and need these HD customers to return for all future purchases. You don't want the Frankenstein mob showing up at BB with pitch forks and torches.
