Great day / did my part

[TheTenth]

Went to FNAC today (great multimedia shop in France).
1) bought Die hard 1 and 2, Curse of the golden flower
2) there were 2 guys watching HD DVDs, 2nd one said, the good movies aren't there, I told them "Do you know the news? Warner has gone Blu-ray exclusive, so HD DVD took a big hit" "and New Line went Blu too, meaning you'll never see Lotr on HD DVD ..."
3) I spoke to the sales assistant about Warner being Blu exclusive, he told me he knew it from a long time (???) and some companies were working on dual (1 side Blu, 1 side red) discs not to despoil those who bought the losing format
4) when paying, the girl at the counter asked : "they can only be read on the PS3?" 3 I answered : "they're high definition movies, they can't be read on DVD players" she said "I heard the picture quality is awesome" "yeah, bought a TV just for them"

Yesterday's news will sure change a lot of things, first being people will be less confused on the format(s).

Did my part to. Was at costco last night and a guy was looking at the hd-dvd players. Asked him if he's researched the format at all. Of course he said "yeah" Said he'd be better to spend the extra 80$ and get the blu-ray, at least you won't need to buy a new player in a little while. he said "what makes you think that." Told him Warner just switched over to Blu-Ray today and its signaling the end of the war for Hd-dvd." He didn't know the news yet, but needless to say, he didn't buy a HD-dvd player that day...

We should all go to the local stores and hand out copies of the press release,lol. Hell I might even tape one to the front of the HD DVD display

I too had to help out someone who, in my mind, was going to make a short sided decision. A friend of my wife's husband husband was heading out to Best Buy to buy an HD DVD player this weekend. I explained the formats and the studios who support what and he went blu instead. A good day...

Man, that's the saddest story I've heard in the past week. I have this picture in my mind of a sweet couple thinking they've mastered the latest high-tech thing, and they're going to be hosed (at least temporarily). It's enough to give someone nightmares.

Just ordered Night at the Museum from Amazon for me

[yellowletmello36]

ordered all the harry potters and wyatt earp or however you spell it, also ordered War and Shoot Em Up to give new line some support

[afgt93]

Yesterday was a very good day, I got my Harry Potter Blu-rays all 5 from Amazon, got my label pin, and free movie, and was wearing my Blu-ray shirt, and before I even got home from my brothers Warner went Blu-ray exclusive.

[TheTenth]

can Blu-ray shirts be found on internet? (don't have them in France) would it be legal to take the Blu logo and have it printed? where to find a clean big logo?

[afgt93]

Here's the link to the store on ebay that sells Blu-ray shirts, just type in Blu-ray in the store search box, and as far as I know these are all the places they ship to United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia. http://stores.ebay.com/PreScreened-Store

Today, I called a close friend of mine who owns a 360 to inform him to don't be swayed to buy the HD-DVD add-on if he was thinking about it or it eventually goes for cheap (go figure eventually why). Of course I informed him because of WB, but he didn't have much desire as of now to buy an HD media since he still games on an SDTV. So I told him to relay the info to his cousin.

Went and picked up Shoot Em Up at BB to reward New Line Cinema

[Striker]

In the past week have picked up three Harry Potter movies, Invincible, High School Musical 2, Casino Royal, and Meet The Robinsons...needless to say, my whole family is feeling Blu and loving it!
