Default How are you helping Blu-ray?

Other than buying the blu-rays you like (and just collecting every Blu-ray you can get your hands on) How are you helping Blu-ray better establish itself on the market? Do talk to your friends and family about it? When you're at the store, do you talk to others about Blu-ray? Do Nothing? Just curious as to how I compare to everyone else. Select all that apply, Poll up!

No poll yet sir...

I promote it every chance I get. If I can demo it, it is usually much more effective. I do talk to someone about it in store too about every 4th time or so.

I talk about Blu-Ray ad nauseum to the dismay of friends and family. Anyone who comes over to my house gets treated with a demo of what its all about.

I made sure that the Easter Bunny placed Enchanted on Blu-ray in my daughter's Easter basket, even though she doesn't have a player at her mother's house where she lives.

I am finally starting to buy more BRs than HDs (although I am still buying fire sale HD DVDs).

When people ask -- I tell them that BR is great and the way to go for the long term. I think the standalone players need some time to mature -- but the PS3 is a great device.

If someone asks me if they should get an HD DVD or a regular DVD player -- I tell them that if they are looking to get a good upconverting DVD player and are willing to spend about $100 -- then the HD DVD player makes a really decent buy. Just don't expect to get any new HD DVD software for it beyond what is already out.

I do all of the first 3 choices. I haven't converted anyone yet, but I have got them thinking towards Blu ray.

Showing it to friends has been enough, so far. Several of them are now Blu... One to two wins from each of us might just be enough.

If I see an HD-DVD player I smash it, If I see a HD-DVD disk I fling it out the window.
