poor dud....can't win

HD-DUD folks over-emphasize the importance of amazon. The vast majority of people still buy in stores.

jamclaur · 08-30-2007, 10:54 PM

Yeah. And you're all welcome. I just ordered my PS3 and blu's from amazon like 2 hours ago...

Link please. Or take a poll here - how many of us purchase our BRs online, and how many purchase them at a B&M. Of the 100 HD movies I own, I have maybe bought 2 or 3 at a B&M.

I have about 17 and I bought 2 in B&M stores.

IamNhobdy · 08-30-2007, 11:03 PM

Of the 85 I own, I only ordered Rescue Me back when it came out from Amazon. Everything else I bought at either WallyWorld or BrandsMart...Best Buy & Circuit City if I can't specific titles I want or if I can get them to price match.

I just like being able to have it when they take my money. I hate to wait.

EDIT: Planet Earth & The Road Warrior were gifts from my mom, and I think she did get them online too.

Bombthroat · 08-30-2007, 11:06 PM

I have 54 Blu-ray's and have only purchased one of them in a B&M. And I only did that to get the bonus Spider Man teaser disc from Best Buy.

B&M's aren't price competitive with etailers yet. It'll be a different story when they reach price parity.

EXACTLY! I buy it and I am watching it within 20 minutes.

assur191 · 08-30-2007, 11:11 PM

I can't afford to buy it at the store. Between the discounts, and the fact I don't have to pay sales tax, Amazon is almost always where I buy from.

X2!

KenThompson · 08-30-2007, 11:20 PM

I have 36 movies and all but 2 were bought at Willow Video or Best Buy. Amazon.com won't send them to me across the border. Amazon.ca in Canada is a rip. A couple were bought at Walmart, gasp.

Blu Titan · 08-30-2007, 11:23 PM

Those HD DUD are so predictable. Pathetic really.

aristotles · 08-30-2007, 11:24 PM

Out of the 50 Blu-ray Discs that I have purchased so far, 0 have been bought online and 50 were bought at brick and mortar stores.

DrinkMore · 08-30-2007, 11:36 PM

All of my BD's except two were bought at Amazon. I have about 20 now.

D1-2005 · 08-30-2007, 11:47 PM

ive bought most from amazon, but if i cant wait i'll go to walmart, because they seem to be about 5 bucks cheaper than anyone else.

darkpoet25 · 08-30-2007, 11:53 PM

I bought all mine from B&M stores. I used to go to Best Buy, but now I go to Fry's since they are about $5-10 cheaper. Depending on what we get at the Wal-Mart I work at I may pick up one or two there with my discount. Any titles I wanted to get I have had no trouble getting them at store's.

Papi4baby · 08-31-2007, 12:01 AM

I only have about 6 or 7 BD's im half way in places i purchase, online half and the others BM

cpgator · 08-31-2007, 12:11 AM

Granted I haven't shopped lately at a B&M for BRs, but last I checked they have a very limited selection. I don't see how people with a decent number of movies could not shop online. Just seems like most the stores have the same selection month after month.

atomik kinder · 08-31-2007, 12:28 AM

I have purchased a few from Amazon and a few from other sources online and a few from stores, Target, Best Buy. There must be some people who buy from store, otherwise no on would carry BDs. Believe it or not, there are still a lot of people out there who refuse to order anything online, thinking their credit card number will be stolen. And there are the people who want it NOW.

Yep, most of mine are from Amazon.
