I have the solution to end this format war... - Blu-ray Forum

ckenisell · 11-08-2007, 02:59 PM

OK. I know the answer to this format war. One word:

Oprah

All the BD camp needs to do is have Oprah add it to her "must buy" list (or whatever it is she sells) or give a PS3 to each member of her studio audience (with a mention that it is for playing Blu-Rays) and the war would be over. All you need is Oprah's endorsment and chicks will be wet with anticipation over their PS3 purchase. She could even have an actor in the studio who's just about to have a movie release on Blu-Ray just yucking it up over Blu-ray.

I'm telling you, Oprah is the key...

Thoughts?

Oh man, not another one of these threads.....

And no, Oprah is will never be the saving grace for Blu-ray!

I know I have very little post count around here and, normally, I don't post these kind of silly threads, but I was just in a weird mood and thought I'd have a little fun this morning. That's all.

Obviously, Oprah is not going to win this war for us.

No, he's right

Oprah's thumbs-up is probably good for at least 100,000 decks

Anything OPRAH recommends millions of people buy....Dunno why but it happens.
Virtually every book she has recommends on her book club becomes a NYTimes best seller.
That would no doubt get allot of women on board too.

Someone get the woman a Blu-ray player!

mystiksuicide · 11-08-2007, 04:05 PM

I think I am the only female that goes against everything she says out of spite. Damn I find her annoying. But your right she does have many sheep that hang on to her every word.

the only way i can see this ending soon is if we can somehow figure out how to give hd fanboys an brain augmentation.

hardcore_canadian · 11-08-2007, 04:55 PM

Oprah's amazing...I totally hate her, but she's amazing. She's smart, and every time she adds a book to her book club, the author can become and instant millionaire, assuming they get a cut of each book, and didn't just sttle for a publication deal. And yes, if she endorsed blu-ray on her show, it would work. And it's "A" brain augmentation, not "An"

Absolutely right - Oprah's thumbs up would be a massive bump.
Sounds hilarious, but it's absolutely true.

Mericalis · 11-08-2007, 05:06 PM

Yup, I can see now all the stay-at-home moms running to the local Wally World and buying up a PS3...actually, it might be more than 100,000 if you think globally.

hardcore_canadian · 11-08-2007, 05:11 PM

Thundercrash07 · 11-08-2007, 05:21 PM

Oh please, everyone knows that Debra Wilson is the better Oprah...

When you buy a BD player through www.ophrah.com you get a free copy of her favorite book, "A million little pieces." ........

Oh wait, that sounds more like an HD DVD offering.

Whenever Oprah mentions our company - we get slammed. Not just clicks, but sales too.

We send out alerts to be ready for Oprah Day.
