Best Buy referring to Blu-Ray as HD-DVD

[Sushisake]

I just got the Thanksgiving Day flyer for Best buy - and they have the $9.99 Blu-Ray for Transformers - and the ad refers to it as HD-DVD. GEEZ LOUISE!!! New people are confused enough without stupid mistakes like this!

You have to be kidding with that. At this stage of the game, it is ridiculous for Best Buy marketing to be that incompetent.

I am absolutely NOT kidding about this! Go to the Best Buy website and find their Thanksgiving flyer - just in case it is only in my area - use zipcode 02189.

Outrageous!

it did say hd-dvd. But has a picture of blu-ray. I actually called them and told them and the guy had no idea what to say. hopefully the printed ad will be correct

All I can say is...WOW. How hard can it be for Best Buy to get the most basic of facts correct?!

Best Buy never ceases to amaze me in their stupidity.... I went a few days looking for an inexpensive bw laser printer.. I knew what I wanted going in.. the sales guy asked me what i was looking for and he pointed me to the row of inkjet printers.. I told him i was looking for a laser printer and he decided that a conversation with another employee was more important. anyways they wanted $159.95 for this printer. needless to say I ordered it on amazon.com for $99.95 with free shipping.
I tell you what though OPPO needs to start making and selling printers... at least they would probably include a USB cable and a full toner instead of a starter toner.

You know what, my local FRY's is still promoting HD-DVD. They put HD-DVDs on a big stand near entrance, playing planet earth on a xbox360 addons. They are still give HDDVD same shelf spaces as BD. Last time I were there to pick up kung fu panda BD, I saw an employee there at HD-DVD stands, trying to persuade a customer to purchase HD-DVD.

That's entertaining and all, but you are in the wrong section for this. This is the Hot Deals section.

Hey, if it gets people to buy into it, call it Carl's High Falutin' Video Plates for all I care. Point being, I don't care what it's called, as long as it is adopted by the mainstream.

Worst-Buy makes more mistakes in their weekly ads than any company I know of

Then when you want them to honor something, they always point to corporate as a cop-out

I suspect more and more retailers will use HD DVD as shorthand for blu-ray in sales pitches and materials. HD-DVD is dead, I'm not worried how people refer to blu-ray as long as they build the business.

Wow. Time to take another happy pill, dude. Threatening to tell mommy was uncalled for. How would you like someone to rip on you because you can't write properly (see corrections above in {}).
