Great news.

This "focussing" bit will be interesting for Best Buy shoppers ... "Yes, we also have the second-banana format over here, but even at $99 a player we do NOT recommend you buy one."

Haha, this is like playing Knockout on the old Nintendo and you're beating Mike Tyson

BA DUM TSSSS..............

Thanx, I just posted this over at NeoGAF.

It's not a full dropping of HD-DVD , (they're probably waiting til inventory runs out) but still a MASSIVE decision for Blu-Ray.

The biggest retailer for HDM is going to tell every consumer "Blu-Ray is the right choice".

Now the people shopping for tube TV's can pick a HD-DVD player and some movies to go along with them.

See? Everybody wins

We already do! There is easily a 70/30 ratio of blu-ray to hddvd products and displays. As well as most salesmen that recommend blu-ray (except those darn hd fanboys)

Blu Titan · 02-11-2008, 08:01 PM

Two monster announcements in one day! Come on time to finish this!

Spankey · 02-11-2008, 08:02 PM

Double Whammy Day!

An assortment of HD-DVD products until that assortment runs out. It's over! Paramount and Universal had to be shown the error of their ways....
