    Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

    This is nuts, I was at Best Buy today and one of the guys in the home theater section told me that they will price match Amazon.com if I print off the add and as long as the amount isn't anything crazy. This came up since we were talking about HD-DVD/BD movies and how online their cheaper compared to their prices. Makes you wonder if B&M stores are hurting since people are buying these for cheaper online.

        What a mess the AVS HD-DVD and BD forums were shutdown about 2 days ago and still are shutdown because people started making death threats as people started fighting over the 2 formats. People are nuts.

                      Holy ****, more on the AVS story over at AVS:

                      HD Disc Format Areas Currently Closed For Posts


                      Third, while AVS Forum seems to be the top place this war is being fought, we really do not like how the members are acting as of late. We have until now tried to deal with it as we can, but now it has come to this. We have seen members attacking other members not only in debate, which is the right way, but with physical threats that have involved police and possible legal action. This type of behavior is just not welcome here PERIOD. To the extent that some of you have gone to support either format is just, well, disgusting and has no place on this site. The amount of misinformation posted here and other places on-line HELPS NO ONE. You are doing NO ONE any good, not even your own format of choice. Why? Think about it, you post false information that then later proves to be just that, false, how does that help the cause? In fact it hurts it. So do not believe all that you read and restate it as fact.

                        Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

                        Got this email today from BB. Sure glad I jumped on that A2 deal....

                        "Dear Valued Best Buy For Business Customer,
                        You are receiving this email because you recently ordered a Toshiba HD DVD Player (model: HD-A2) and your order was placed in a backorder status while we awaited additional inventory. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued this item and we are not anticipating receiving any more inventory.

                        Because we value your business, we will be fulfilling your order with the next generation Toshiba HD DVD Player (model: HD-A3) that is replacing the HD-A2 in Toshiba's lineup of HD DVD Players. There is no need for you to do anything to receive this upgraded model. We will simply fulfill your order substituting the HD-A3 model. Your packing slip will be updated to show you received the HD-A3 model and this will serve as your order receipt.

                        If you are not interested in receiving the Toshiba HD-A3 as a replacement for the discontinued HD-A2, you may return the unopened item by simply contacting our Customer Support Team.

                        Please accept our apology for any inconvenience.

                        Customer Support Team"

                        They may have crappy Disc prices but wow.

                            Yeah, that is a rather high number. For a format that is only 1.5 years old, not too bad.

                              yeah, it's still way early in the format war. I never got why bluray and HDDVD fanboys threw around numbers like "movie X sold 17k copies this week." There's still millions of people not in either side yet, and HD-DVD is doing what it takes to bring them in.

                              I might go get one of these if they're doing it for black friday or online again.
