Anyone that does this is getting played by Paramount.

Point for Slapper...Paramount will see no money from me anytime soon. The quicker we bring death to hd-dvd the better. Then when Paramount comes crawling back to us with thier tail between thier legs we still give them no money unless thier releases are top notch all across the board. We will show them what we do to back-stabing greedy lil pieces of crap!

We Blu supporters need to hold off buying until the 16th and then let lose on the all the great movies from the pass two weeks!!!!!!!! Bring on Oct. 16th buy-athon

dayum dude!!youre post almost got me out of breath reading it but we are having lots of new releases before the 16th.my wife would go apeshit if she saw boxes of blu-ray arriving every week

I think one day is enough. I have already seen plenty of posts where people are holding off buying bds becuase of the current buy-a-thon. Which was suppose to be a day to buy an extra bd not to hold off on ones you were going to purchase anyway. Forcasters are going to look at the average trend of sales for a product, and a one day outliers, will not have much effect. Still I think if we are going to do it we should do it big, and on September 18th only. I think we should each hit local retaliers that day, the 18th, as they will be a bigger deciding factor as opposed to the internet. Anyway with so many great releases coming out, I don't think are sales will be too shotty that day.
