This will be a day long remembered. All hail 'D-Day'! - Blu-ray Forum

Hydra Boy · 10-26-2007, 01:00 PM

Who'd have thunk that Disney would end up gatecrashing the Transformers party in such spectacular fashion? HD-DVD & Paramount's biggest ever title getting blindsided by a cleverly timed promotion?! I bet no-one saw this coming on 'P-Day'.

So, ladies and gentlemen, I hereby pronounce today 'D-Day'. All Hail.

SS316SRV · 10-26-2007, 01:07 PM

D-Day was in 1946.

oops...1944 I will leave it up just so I can eat my crow...

D-Day was not in 1946, it was June 6 1944, the war was over by 1946.

I missed something. What did Disney do?

Cartesian · 10-26-2007, 01:17 PM

Better than calling it 'B-Day'

Fantastic news! Has made my week!

Go Blu · 10-26-2007, 01:18 PM

Disney had a BOGO on POTC 1 & 2 which at one point were ranked higher than TF!
I don't believe it could have been pulled off without those two titles.

CptGreedle · 10-26-2007, 01:19 PM

BOGO (buy one get one) sale. Made HUGE numbers.
BD-day, i like the sound of that.
Welcome and WOOOOT!

I stand corrected. That is what I get for being a smart ass. I corrected it.

I think we could call in VD-Day...wait that is a terrible idea

alain turgeon · 10-26-2007, 01:35 PM

Now the hd-dvd supporters are saying that it is pathetic that blu-ray had to have the BOGO sale to win the week.Don't they remember that it cost hd-dvd 150 milions to have Transformer on hd-dvd??????

Thats pretty sad for HD-DUD if all the BDA has to do is have a promotion
to beat out the BEST SELLING HD-DUD of all time.

SS316SRV · 10-26-2007, 01:38 PM

What are we going to call Blu-ray Java Day?

BJ-Day?

dobyblue · 10-26-2007, 01:51 PM

I'm not going to call it B-Day or D-Day or BD-Day.

Bid'ness as usual!!!!

Hi,

Blu Ray Wins.

HD DVD Loses.

I celebrated as usual by rushing out to buy a Blu Ray!

gandley · 10-26-2007, 01:57 PM

the slap in the face has to be that catalog titles blind sided one of the years best movies.

next weeks figures should swing right back to BD kicking it full throttle.

Bourne Ultimatum i guess is HDDVDs last chance.
