Blockbuster to favor Blu-ray HD discs over DVD format (1 Viewer)

[Ed St. Clair]

To paraphrase you:
Why would you assume that the buying habits of just the people you know would represent the entire HD community?

 

[Douglas Monce]

I bought my HD DVD player first. At the time the Blu-ray players were not reasonably priced and the selection of movies was not great. If I had not run across a screaming deal on a Samsung open box I still wouldn't have a Blu-ray player because the selection of movies is still not great.

Awwww, lucky you. I had not one, but two softball teams and an umpire laughing at me. I could understand my own team, but the ump? That's just mean.

 

[Douglas Monce]

OH its always funny when people hurt themselves. Isn't that what America's Funnies Home Videos and Jackass have taught us?

 

[ppltd]

Only when it happens to the other person.

 

[Tim Glover]

Don't leave me out as I strongly favor alot of different things so I'm freakin' mother _____ self avowed too.

Actually, Thomas, BrettB, DaVid, and alot of us here are self-avowed.

That's probably why Blockbuster chose Blu-ray....they have more self-avowers.

 

[Jason Roer]

You boys may be "Self Avowed" - But I'm "Well Endowed"!

ba dum, dum, chish!

Cheers,

Jason

 

[Tim Glover]

Ok...thanks Cees for showing Jason how to use the dancing bananas!

 

[Douglas Monce]

I think I've been diss-Avowed!

 

[Cees Alons]

:frowning: Yes, apparently too well-endowed now.

(what relates "well-endowed" to this banana?)

[Jason Roer]

I have references upon request!

Sorry - am I taking too many liberties with my dancing bananas, guys?

Cheers,

Jason

 

[Tim Glover]

No...we're just having a bit of fun since you discovered them. Jason's actual format preference? DBD: Dancing Bananas Disc.

 

[Jason Roer]

No, no. I'll always be format neutral:

HD-DBD - High Definition Dancing Bananas Disc.

Cheers,

Jason

 

[BrettB]

Bummer. Hope it heals up nicely/quickly.

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Jason,

let's see some photographic evidence.




I didn't make a closed-case assumption... I made a conjecture and then I asked others at HTF to share their own experiences to broaden the sampling pool...

 

[ppltd]

Thanks. It has been a real pain (no pun intended) this week. If it doesn't start to heal in the next week I am looking at a hard cast. that really sucks.

[Cees Alons]

At the end of the article, it says that Blockbuster is currently more than $800,000,000 in depth. Don't know if it's true, of course.
