if i was working at an electronics or video place i would be pimping Blu ray like i did Dvd six seven years ago at Hastings. i remember getting probably a hundred or so people to try dvd. people were getting pissed because smaller and smaller numbers of VHS were being released and i would tell them we had plenty of copies on dvd. and the answer was always i don't have a dvdplayer and they are to expensive. and i was like, " yeah in 1998." in 05' Hasting was selling those Colby dvd players that were as big as the portable players for $29.99 so when i told them about the player and all the things about it from hhoking it up like a VCR, about progressive scan, anamorphic, letterbox i literally sold all our Colby players. i've had some who came back a short time after leaving to get one or 2 more players. and people telling me how could they have not changed sooner. one biker looking old guy even told me," thanks for telling me about the dvd player and EF tracking!".
it is a lot of info missing or maybe just wrong that put people off. not to mention they just payed for a nice HDTV, now they have to get a new player and jacked up pricey cables. so they stick with their old set up on their new HDTVs and say, " what the hell is all the fuss about hd?"
i was real glade when i got the $90 dollar insignia player at bestbuy that plays imported blu's and had netflix, pandora, and that other movie streaming app. not to mention places like walmart now selling blu for around $7 bucks. to me it kinda like it was about 10 years ago when bestbuy started selling dvds for under $10 dollars more and more. so basically what i'm saying is......dvd is gonna kill blu ray.
