Holy cow - look at Amazon! - Blu-ray Forum

http://www.eproductwars.com/dvd/ it appears that the hd dvd boys are having a little buy week as Shaun of the Dead and Bourne are way up. first off, its cool to buy off amazon, we are winning off amazon, but don't get caught up in these numbers and not buy from retail, buy from them too. after all if retail sees blu-ray selling and hd dvd not, guess what they are going to drop: hd dvd. this looks like a huge desperate shot from the hd dvd camp. if they win 1 week, they will call it the second coming, lets buy, buy, and buy some more this week! let them have the biggest release advantage ever and still lose. Go Buy Blu-ray! Now! Make them lose their precious week, so they will shut up and Paramount will see how stupid they are. I just picked up Blazing Saddles from Hastings, plan on buying more tommorow!

It's just the buy 2 get 1 free sale that's going on. Blu-ray's numbers are up too.

Is the B2 G1 Free still going on for BD's ??? or just the 30% off??

halon · 08-28-2007, 01:35 AM

it seems a lot of us are buying off amazon today because of the sale. maybe we should move the buy-a-thon up to today AND do the amazon sale...if you can spare the cash. go big or don't go at all?

I like that idea!

stockstar1138 · 08-28-2007, 01:42 AM

alright so today i got blazing saddles, bridge to teribithia, the patriot, and ice age 2! add another 4 to the blu-ray total. this is really great, i guarentee the BDA is doing this. whatever advantage hd dvd had this week just got cancelled out. great way to counter getting dicked over by paramount. are they doing the same deal with hd dvd????

nice thought. that would be cool if BDA orchestrated this.

GreenMotion · 08-28-2007, 01:47 AM

Not sure about that. If it was BDAs doing, you'd assume it'd be advertised somewhere. Other than the post by the OP (thank you), I had no idea this sale was going on. Not even from Amazon's BD page.

i think its too coincidental that this sale is going on the week of no new blu-ray releases. the BDA didn't have enough warning to get a flick out in time, so they pull this, brilliant! itll actually sell 5x as many movies. ive heard there is no hd dvd deal, so it looks like it could be the BDA, and tonights massive sale has forced all the hd dvd boys who were gonna buy heroes and blades tommorow pre-order it tonight. sales won't be as hot tommorow for sure.

Those first two graphs are for the top 10 and top 25 products. Look at the top 100. Our purchases are span the breadth of the BDs they offer.
