"Better Together
Buy this DVD with Toshiba HD-A3 720p/1080i HD DVD Player by Toshiba today!"

I was checking the price of Top Gun (Blu-Ray) and it gave me that better together recommendation

Great, If I got both I could watch my Top Gun BD on a brand new HD DVD player!

I will take a screen shot if anyone can tell me how... Classic!

That's been happening long before the format war ended. Its because they are in business to sell whatever and blu-ray and HDDVD are in the same "high def" category. It will continue to happen until they delete HDDVD from their inventory

Happening long after the format war has ended is stranger than happening before...

OMG, what have you done, that Amazon's fully automated CRM software thinks you might be interested in being purple?

The horror, the horror!

Better together? Blu-ray disc and an HD DVD player, how long after the formats came out and one died? Crazy.

But seriously, good to see all the flamers come out at night...

Lol, I love amazon so I'll give them a pass but, I used ot work at Sears while going to school and I think the funniest thing is how we didn't drop the price of HD DVD movies or players and they were confused why people weren;t buying them. My manager would say things like," they don;t make these any more so that people that still want them should but them." Then w/ just the mention we drop the price he'd walk away haha.

It aint the "people who looked at this also looked at this"

It is the "better together."

It is like saying Biddle and Jackson should be invited to the same party, and then some goofball like you comes up and says, "Well they like talking about banking."

Hope that is not over your head...

I assume it is because they either are not "smrt" enough to understand humor, or they think I am slamming amazon like they(Amazon) are stupid.

Of course it is a "both are high-def" thing. Of course Amazon software just links up two products with eachother.

It is just ironic that they would couple a disc with a player that can not play the disc, months after the format failed, and years after the formats started.

It is just silly... I dont get all the flaming.

Anyway, reminds me of this pic I took in philly

Two things that are silly together.
