Amazon & HD-DVD - Blu-ray Forum

sarnell2 · 11-30-2007, 08:20 PM

What's going on???

I go to amazon.com and right on the homepage is a giant advertisement for HD-DVD. I then go to my email and I have an email from them: Add HD DVD to Your Xbox 360 and Get Six Free Movies. BS. I think HD-DVD is taking desperate measures after they got owned by Blu-Ray on Black Friday

I too get adv for HD DUD from Amazon

Amazon seems to constantly promote HD-DVD. They are probably getting paid a lot by Toshiba. I can't imagine how much money Toshiba is losing everyday with their HD-DVD recklessness.

Or by Microsoft. I don't trust 'em. Both amazon and microsoft are Seattle-area companies. I'll bet that most of those amazon "voter specials" went to H-DUD fan-idiots.

I don't pay attention to sales on the HD-DVD side, but it seems like amazon is giving us BD deals all the time...even if they're mostly the same titles. How many sales do they have on HD-DVD?

Moefiz · 11-30-2007, 09:36 PM

Seem that the more advertising HdDVD does, they get deeper in trouble.

Even if you have looked at an HD DVD title, their system remembers. If you look at one, it thinks you are interesteda and throw HD DVDs all over their home page.

Same here. Remember the Seattle area store that was broken into a few months back and they only took Blu-ray disks and left all of the hD DVDs sitting there? Even the criminals around here know where the future is heading.

(joking, of course, actually I had not heard this, I don't keep up with local news much )

Rain in Seattle is only an illusion - to keep everyone away - I think we need to change our slogan from the Evergreen state to the Blu State - lol

WickyWoo · 12-01-2007, 01:31 PM

Of course there are also rainy days mind you
