Well I went back to Bestbuy and I didn't even really think about the widescreenadvocate cards that I had placed in the DVD section last week, I sure didn't think they would still be there. To my total surprise they were still there. I had placed 3 in different locations and 8 days later they are...

Jeremy, That would be the ideal situation and its too bad stores don't do this. This is another reason I like the business cards at widescreenadvocate, it clearly shows both samples of a scene from the Mummy. I still think a nicely designed widescreenadvocate.com T-shirt could be very effective.

Im a reasonable person and I agree the ideal solution will be to get approval first off. So, thats what i will attempt to do. I will call around to some of the bigger chains and explain our common concerns with lack of information and explain I have some material that may help the customer make...

Well I had fun doing it and Ill probably do it again this week. Im not hurting BestBuy or their customers. Besides I break the law all the time speading to BestBuy to buy the lastest releases.:D Oh, hey Martin....Ill be going to the Bloomington, Illinois BestBuy this Sunday around noon. Maybe...

Im not telling them not to buy, just giving them information so they can make the purchase with total understanding....why is this so difficult? Martin, I was trying to be funny, I didnt want to harm anyone or make someone loose their job.

Well Martin It was supposed to be a humorous story also and the cards dont say "this sucks, don't buy it" it says "You Decide". This is Bestbuy, Im not fucking with someones livelihood. Why dont you read the post next time.

DaViD Boulet, I think its a good idea. My first plan was to tape the Widescreenadvocate brochure in the middle of the Walmart DVD selection but the wife put a stop to it. I just think this information should be available anyway. People spend alot of hard earned money on DVD's and they should...

There seems to be some objection to what information is on these business cards. Maybe we can give Eric M Jones from Widescreen Advocate some ideas on what might work best. Yes Ian maybe they should say "FULL SCREEN VERSION" since this is the term Hollywood is using on the fullscreen dvd cases.

Sarahs thinking....maybe my wife....ya right;) No really my wife was with me and she walked away because she thought I was going to get thrown out of the store. So I knew that I was taking some what of a chance but like I said I had to do it. Shit man my tv is 16x9, I want my DVD's in OAR...

Scott and Brian, Thanks for supporting my unusual social behavior. I must say with all the recent OAR activity I thought my efforts would be more Appreciated. I was really starting to feel bad for what I did.

Thanks for correcting me Glenn ;) . Finally..someone.. Steve, thank you for seeing it my way. I remember someone posted a story about using someone's dollar bill to demonstrate Pan&scan vrs Widescreen were they ripped the sides off of old George. Funny but risky...I think thats going too far.

Let me add that I printed out these cards with the intention of using them for 1on1 encounters. I was at BB when I noticed that there was a gap that one of those cards would fit perfect. I couldnt help myself...I admit the t-shirt may be going to far but come on. I just was frustrated when I saw...

Oh, come on...I'd still be buying my 2 or 3 dvd's. I dont think there is anything wrong with showing your love for a hobby. It would be tasteful and I wouldnt stand there all day like some freak.;)

I printed out some of those business cards at widescreenadvocate.com and went to BestBuy. At my location the movies have a clear strip of plastic that holds them in place and they also put the price information here. Well, I slipped some of those business cards in behind the plastic strips in...
