Best Buy's Sunday (July 8) ad

[nhaase]

Hey, I just checked Bbuy's site, and their Sunday ad. The ad showed The Last Samurai, V for Vendetta, Phantom of the Opera, Goodfellas, and Troy for $14.99. Does anyone know if this is a BBuy exclusive sale or one ordered by the HD DVD group (probably Bbuy trying to make more shelf space for BD)

Also, in the hi-def player section of the website, I saw something we here will really like: Of the 4 HD DVD players available there (LG combo and 360 add-on included), only the HD-A20 is backordered, the others are readily available (that's funny, I thought Toshiba said that the HD-A2, at $299, was spreading like herpes at a Paris Hilton B-day party). Better for us, of the 6 available BD players (incl. the LG combo and PS3), only those two I mentioned specifically are readily available! The Panny is sold-out online, but available in stores. The BDP-S1 is sold out, and it says probably not available at stores. The Sammy 1200 and BDP-S300 are backordered for 1-2 weeks and available at most stores.

Just a few little tidbits there, and if anyone can find more about that Sunday ad sale, let me know.

Off subject: 300 and PE (finally) on BD are both ranked higher than their HD DVD counterparts. Not that this is really big news, but it's a good way to end your weekend, should put a smile on your face.

One last note: Tomorrow at 8pm, Spielberg on Spielberg on TCM.
