Default Local Blockbuster spreading FUD and scaring customers

So I was in Blockbuster and asked the girl at the counter to call a Blu-Buster and ask if they had a certain title on Blu-ray. after the call, she looks at this scripted piece of paper and reads to me looking up and down...

"Did you know that Blu-ray is the new DVD?"
"All Blockbusters will be replacing DVDs with Blu-Ray discs" (scaring the people into needing a PS3 which she had on-hand)

some other lady asked, what's the difference and to her the employee replied...

"The only real difference is that they are scratch resistant"


I told both that there was a lot more to it than that and explained the capacity, etc. and that standard DVDs look like garbage on a large TV where Blu-Ray was far better visually.

They both looked at me as if I was some sort of rocket scientist and I am sure they had no idea what the f I was saying.

Blockbuster is supposed to clearance out their HD-DVDs for $4.99 as well according to the employee and will soon all be carying Blu-Rays nationwide by next month.
