HDM bargains and sales post in HD software or in bargains section?
so the last couple of months have shown a bunch or really good sales on hdm.
i know a lot of people don't make it over to bargains and miss out on the sales.
another forum like HTF has a section for bargains in their hd talk section.
should we?
My "B" button rarely works.
"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them?"

I've posted HD deals in the Bargains section...but have also found myself posting links to those threads over in HD software.
BUT why shouldn't HD media buyers just stop by Bargains and Deals like SD media buyers?
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: HDM bargains and sales post in ht software or in bargains section?
thats a good point.
i asked because i'm sure i've noticed some who have not looked there when hdm deals have turned up.
btw the title of this has a typo. it should say
"...post in HD software or in bargains section?"
also many of these only last a few days so the hd people might not get a chance or remember to check bargains for these quickie sales.

Re: HDM bargains and sales post in ht software or in bargains section?
Well, I've certainly noticed a number of Bargain-type threads starting up and running-their-course in the HD Software section lately...wondering why they weren't posted in Bargains & Deals.
I've been worried I've been going to miss some of those "quickie" deals if I didn't check over there, too! 
That's why I've been "cross posting/referencing" some of my threads in Bargains over in the HD Software section...to kind of maximize the exposure. But every time I did that, I asked myself the question, "why aren't the HD media folks just posting in Bargains & Deals like the SD media customers?

Re: HDM bargains and sales post in ht software or in bargains section?
We've allowed bargain posts in the HD Software and when appropriate, the HD hardware areas, since the deals can be time-sensitive, not everyone is going to keep refreshing the Bargains/Deals area all day long, but do spend time in the HD area due to disc reviews and hardware discussion, as well as the HDM landscape developments (Warner going blu, etc.). I think that's the best compromise as a separate HDM area wouldn't see that much activity and it was require HDM buyer yet another area to patrol.

Re: HDM bargains and sales post in ht software or in bargains section?
i wasnt suggesting an new area for hdm bargains, just a singular thread or such in the hd software area.
it doesnt matter to me either way.
just thought i'd throw it out there.

Re: HDM bargains and sales post in HD software or in bargains section?
Honestly, the amazon BD & HD-DVD deals seem to come and go too quickly. It almost makes it impossible to keep up with them.
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Re: HDM bargains and sales post in HD software or in bargains section?
The only reason why we allow HDM bargain threads in this area is because most of them are time limited with sometimes only a 24 hour window. Furthermore, since HDM is so expensive, it serves the membership better that such bargains are posted immediately in an area that HD player owners frequent more often than the bargain area.
Also, any HD bargain posted in HD area, but not the bargain area, I will generate another thread in the bargains area to showcase that HD bargain. If the reverse happens in the bargain area and not the HD area, I'll note that HD bargain in the HD bargain thread.
I see no reason for the consolidated HD bargain thread to be a sticky as long as we keep the thread near the top of the page which the administrators can do without making it a sticky thread. For the most part, we try to avoid having too many sticky threads at the top of the page.
