I work at Best Buy....we don't have an "Active" HDDVD display. Our HDDVD encap always finds itself on the regular feed, not displaying the "buy HDDVD" HDDVD disc..lol

I actually did this a few months ago at BB, trying to look at differences between the two products and I was actually told not to touch the displays. I've been back since and turned off the displays that were HD-DVD.

call me an *******, but when it comes to hi def. HDDVD IS THE LOOK AND SOUND OF SHAME. I LOST MY EYESIGHT AND TURNED COLOR BLIND WHEN I SAW A PRESENTATION OF HDDVD.

stown · 09-03-2007, 05:09 AM

I know the feelings, my dad also does this when i pull this off. sometimes i go to best buy all dressed up, looking pro and all, and don't forget the glasses

(sophistcated looking) just to watch what people are looking at and i start talking to people which format is better, and even take the time to show them a difference.

I enjoy being one of those giving HDDVD a bad name.

how does that make you an *******. it only makes you a peaceful customer. and might i add that best buy deserves *******s.

Slackr89 · 09-03-2007, 05:17 AM

well i dont mess with the displays. but if there are ANY Hdud's in the BD section i make sure to remove them from there. i find myself doing this at any store where im looking at the Blu-ray's

sega_smasher · 09-03-2007, 05:21 AM

i intentionally pile up hd dvd's in the open box section of the store so that when i talk a customer into blu ray they see what happens to their toshiba players. yet i talked my manager into putting up 4 setups... 1 hd dvd endcap that just like stated b4, is displaying anything but HD DVD. hehe. damn those mischivious CC employees.

ESUNintel · 09-03-2007, 05:22 AM

I work at Sears, and we only have a Blu-ray display with a 46" XBR4, looks great!! They only run the Blu-ray trailer, the HD-DVD logo just shows up at the end of the Matrix trailer, and HD-DVD is not even mentioned.

Sears only carries like 3 Toshiba LCDs, and the Samsung, Sony, Hitachi, Sharp (or for the most part all the reps for Blu companies) would freak out if an HD-DVD player is plugged into one of their 1080p televisions.

Blus Brother · 09-03-2007, 05:26 AM

I dont mess with their stuff. I am Blu all the way - but I dont act like a little child over it. If I go there at all, I go in and get what I want, and then leave.
