Anyone buying blu-rays tomorrow (4/21) to counter HD-DVD buy-a-thon? - Blu-ray Forum

AlaskaDon · 04-18-2007, 07:23 PM

I'll be ordering Night at the Museum, and The Queen on the 21st. I was planning on picking both of those up locally, but I can wait a few days to get them from Amazon just to get in on the fun

Hey, does anybody know if they will automatically ship those out packed with my Planet Earth pre-order since they release on the same day?

Amazon should or you could specificy that they deliver in one package.

If every PS3 owner in the US buys just one title this week, it will create a HUGE spike.

I'd like to add PS3's in the philly area are moving...

a couple stores I've been following have had up to 7 PS3's for the past month and longer....now they have 2 and 3....each....

the most a store had was 4...

Sears, Best Buy, 2 Circuit City's, EB, Gamestop and uhh Toys R Us are all in my area....the 2 CC's are the furthest just about...but they built a new one over a year ago...

I missed walmart and a few other stores...

It's not meaningless and it also helps beat down the HDDVD fanboys' psychological well-being.

I will be buying Payback, Enter The Dragon and King Arthur on the 21st. I usually don't buy online until the 5th of the month, but I will do anything to help put an end to HD DVD.

The Don · 04-18-2007, 10:26 PM

I think Sony is kind of complacent right now with just 'being ahead of HD-DVD' and not trying to take over as the next format..

if anything...I hope BD sales drop some so they start feeling the need to come out with more popular titles...

I like quite a few BD titles...but I am pretty much already caught up with every purchase I need to make..excluding pre-orders...

I don't really have anything to add to my collection until there's a new release...

I'll do it for fun. Good to see a big spike

Although, IMHO BD is wining w/o any of those group purchases.

It is a fact that Blu-ray is winning without group purchases. Thanks for the support!

baccusboy · 04-18-2007, 11:36 PM

I'm in for one. I'll order "The Dirty Dozen."

LeoneFan · 04-19-2007, 04:06 PM

The lists on the PS3forums and Playstation forums are growing, let's give them a hand.

kknight · 04-19-2007, 04:14 PM

Why do we need to order from Amazon? I rather order from dvdempire. And also why April 21st? I'll try to remember to order a few BD that day regardless what the occassion is

LeoneFan · 04-19-2007, 04:24 PM

April 21st is just a date everyone has agreed upon. Thank you for your effort.

dearjim · 04-19-2007, 04:57 PM

oh I'm definitely on it! I'm ordering 2 this week....'Night at the Museum' and 'Deja VU'.

WriteSimply · 04-19-2007, 05:38 PM

The group buy only benefits Amazon. For a short time, the Top 200 list on Amazon will reflect that. It's only good for a short-term bragging rights.

To me, it doesn't matter when you do it this week. The reason is simple. There are more PS3s out there. If the group buy from the PS3 owners causes a spike, it's not a normal spike but a huge one. So it doesn't matter if you buy today or Satuday, so long as you do.
