Order your copy of 300 from Amazon! - Blu-ray Forum

antler · 07-02-2007, 02:39 PM

Hey guys,

If you're thinking of buying a copy of 300 on Blu-ray, please consider ordering it from Amazon. It's available for preorder and the Blu-ray version is in 11th spot whereas the HD-DVD one's on 6th.

I know what does matter is the total overall sales. However, since the HD-DUD promotion group seems to monitor Amazon very closely, let's hit-em where it hurts.

Cheers

Still not seeing a preorder button on the page, just an email link.

Was it removed again?

The preorder was not supposed to go up until the 3rd. Looks like they jumped the gun.

antler · 07-02-2007, 03:14 PM

Add it to your shopping list :-)

I guess that's the way they're counting orders now (for the moment anyway). As soon as the pre-order comes on the 3rd as Josh says above, you can snap it up :-)

Fair enough :-)

We have to show WB that the future of HD is Blu-ray.

This will prove to be the ultimate battle with HD-DVD. This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die!

There may be another reason that Amazon halted sales of these discs. I have read on other forums where each side is accusing the other of pumping the sales by ordering large quanitites of the movie with the intention of cancelling the orders before they actually go to shipping. I am not saying this is true, but if someone came up with the idea, you can almost guess that someone is doing it. Perhaps Amazon caught on when people were ordering 100 copies?????? Like I said I am not saying this is true, but....

Amel · 07-02-2007, 05:15 PM

I think it is

the HDDVD freaks are able to do that

I've seen the reviews posted already, nothing but bashing...ckckck

Why would people order 100 copies just to cancel? The total will be the same in the end. It doesn't do any good to preorder titles that you plan to cancel later on. The Neilson figures are based on sales, not preorders, and those are the figures that count.

GarettP · 07-02-2007, 06:57 PM

Still waiting to be able to preorder, all I get is a thing to e-mail me when it is available.

I didn't see it that low on Amzon. The lowest I saw was $23.98 on Blu-ray.

Because it artificially inflates the importance of the title on Amazon and makes it look like it is selling more copies. Yes, Neilson is more important as you can tell because the Amazon sales and Neilson sales don't always match.

For those who missed out...the preorder is back up on amazon.com

Shin-Ra · 07-03-2007, 05:51 PM
