What was this Blu-ray site called? - Blu-ray Forum

There was this program years ago from a website you watched a flash presenation to educate you about blu-ray and then you get 1 free blu ray, I think some of the choices were The Guardian, Deja Vu, Glory Road, and Chicken Run. Im not being desperate for a free blu-ray

this just popped into my head today and Im looking forward to take a peek at the website if it still exists.

Can't remember the name, but I believe it was through Sears or Best Buy for training employees.

I'm almost positive that program is over now. I don't think it was actually tied to any retail store, but it was an on-line training course that gave retailers the ability to "certify" or at least educate their sales associates on blu-ray. I think it was actually sponsered by the Blu-ray Disc Association (or whatever they are called). It was recommended for only retail sales employees, but it was available to anyone (you did have to state where you worked, but there was no verification of employment). I remember because this is how I picked up my first blu-ray disc, Deja Vu, WAY before I even had a player. I did an on-line training session on that site to learn about the benefits and features of blu-ray (about an hour long), took a simple test, and then after it was finished, I filled out some information, selected my movie, and a few weeks later, it came in the mail with a small blu-ray logo pin and a small cheat card to use when pitching blu-ray to customers. I still have the pin and card, but I got store credit for Deja Vu back when I first got it 'cos I didn't have a player yet, and I wasn't in a hurry to go blu just yet. I've since purchased Deja Vu, but at a fraction of what I got for it back when I first had it.

EDIT: I found some old threads about this on the 'net, and this was way back in late 2007, early 2008. It lasted approximately 4-5 months.
