You guys suck... - Blu-ray Forum

monkyman · 08-26-2007, 11:13 PM

And i'll tell you why. I check in on this site from time to time to see what's new, and check the new posts.

I see threads about "sales", "reviews", "new pre-orders", ETC.

Now I have about $250 worth of pre-orders and none of them are even the FOX titles yet. I can't imagine how much i'll have on order once those pre-orders start rolling out.

Good job of screwing me out of my money, thanks alot, you guys suck!

CAB · 08-26-2007, 11:16 PM

Haha! I think I have about $300.00 committed to preorder and I've blown about that amount in two weeks between Amazon and sale items at Bestbuy.

For the record, I clicked on this post expecting a troll and was prepared to welcome you to the forums. You got me.

daisuke149 · 08-26-2007, 11:20 PM

comeon man.. ive got well over 500 invested in preorders for ps3 games and blu-ray movies... and im in school *cry* 50c ramen is my dinner and lunch for the next year.. i cant even afford breakfast..

GreenMotion · 08-26-2007, 11:25 PM

If it makes you guys feel any better; I have so much on pre-order, I can't even keep track of it anymore. The UPS guy knows me on a first name basis, and if this continuous, I will have to buy him a christmas present. Seriously, he rings my doorbell at least 4 times a week.

I blow so much money on PS3 games, electronics, and blu-ray movies ... it's pathetic. I should really cut it out, but I just can't help myself

Haha, you should see my Amazon order history!. Pages and pages long.

Welcome to the club buddy!

P.S. you know you can cancel pre-orders right?

Beta-guy · 08-26-2007, 11:29 PM

I don't do pre-orders I wait until I see them on the self of a store.

Wow , I thought I was by myself...

buckshot · 08-26-2007, 11:34 PM

I try to resist. I put a bunch of movies in my amazon cart. then when I see the total I go back and try to find used ones for cheaper. plus putting in 3 orders for $50 seems cheaper to me then 1 $150 order. bad thing is I have bought movies I haven't seen and sometimes I didn't even want to see because people talked up the pq and aq so much. shooter is a good example. I hated the idea but when I heard paramount was going to stop pjtting out bds I bought it after reading some good reviews.

I am around $500 in preorders too, and I love it.

red_5ive · 08-26-2007, 11:42 PM

Haha... yeah, I've caught some of the disease after joining blu-ray.com. I had my PS3 for about 3 weeks and no blu-ray movies until I bought 300, then shortly after that I signed up here and within a week I had 13 blu-ray movies.

monkyman · 08-26-2007, 11:43 PM

So i'm not alone then, ok sorry for saying you suck and blameing you guys for my sickness.

I actually like doing pre-orders, It's just the waiting that sucks.

daisuke149 · 08-26-2007, 11:54 PM

thats why i like pre orders tho. I just do it. and it will get here. No worrying about damn i gotta go get it today.. ugh but im busy and what if their outta stock.. ya know? cus when i got 300 for 16 bucks man it was the last one left on the shelf.

I thought Shooter was a good movie. I like Antoine Fuqua's movies. Did I spell that right? He did King Arthur, Training Day, The Replacement Killers, Shooter and a few others that I don't remember the titles to....

Curumo · 08-27-2007, 12:13 AM

imagine u live in a country where avg. payment is 900 U$... in the last 8 months i bought: mac (in a hope to get rid of pc), dell 24" hdcp monitor (in a hope i wont need hdtv), ps3, 1080p samsung 37" hdtv (so my 2nd hope vanished), and finally new windows machine with inel quad cpu - damn its fast! (so my first hope vanished)... and altogether with about 20 BDs and 40 SDVDs (40s and 30s classics and Borg ST compilation)... and what know?... i am ready for some kind of asylum....

and u should see my 2nd room: "old" 26" lcd tv, old 20" lcd monitor, old crt tv, 2 old dvd players, 2 old (s)vhs...

The reason why blu-ray disks are outselling hd dvd is because there are a lot of owners out there buying disks every week, not because of a few of us in here buying lots of disks every week.

The reason why hd dvd sales are so bad is simply because the owners of the players did not find the hd dvd disks worth buying. They are trying to sell the hd dvd players as an upsampling dvd players, that didn't work and didn't sell enough players, so they kept cutting the price from 499, to 449, to 399, to 350, to 299, now to 249. There's even stores selling HD DVD players for $190. Think of it, in about 9 months, the HD-A1 player lost almost 70% of it's value. Only CE goods that can't find any demand would lose that much value in less than a year.

The reason why 300 in blu-ray sold almost 170,000 disks in one week while the hd dvd version couldn't even sell 90,000 is because there's not enough hd dvd owners out there to buy enough disks.

The weekly sales numbers all the way to when pirates of the caribbean 3 will be the test of how popular blu-ray is over hd dvd.

Blus Brother · 08-27-2007, 12:36 AM

I have never preordered anything that I have ever wanted, and have never had trouble finding them when they come out. ( games, movies or whatever) But have not had any money lately to buy anything anyway. LOL helping a family member out right now who is on disability and unable to work at the moment - - I WANT TO HELP THE BLU RAY CAUSE, BUT AM MORE BROKE THAN AN XBOX360.

shadowmoon · 08-27-2007, 01:16 AM

It's ok, I have to hide BDs under the bed for a week (I buy in 2-5 discs per trip) and section them out in a few days spam to avoid the wife's wrath

Chris Beveridge · 08-27-2007, 01:25 AM

My current preorders (starting as of 9/18, the next day I want titles) through December is now at about $650 with discounts. And I know there will be more titles added to that list, particularly as I'm still shopping for a good price on the Spidey 3 pack.

Dadds · 08-27-2007, 02:01 AM

My preorder stands at $200. But I still have about $200 worth of movies I want and plenty of Fox movies.
