To Best Buy: In wars(format ones) you don’t just “prefer” or “showcase” a product. Diplomacy at this stage is just denial of Blu-rays victory. Take a side!
From the press release:
Beginning in early March, the leading consumer electronics retailer will prominently showcase Blu-ray hardware and software products in its Best Buy retail and online channels in the United States.
“Consumers have told us that they want us to help lead the way. We’ve listened to our customers, and we are responding. Best Buy will recommend Blu-ray as the preferred format,” said Brian Dunn, Best Buy’s president and chief operating officer. “Our decision to shine a spotlight on Blu-ray Disc players and other Blu-ray products is a strong signal to our customers that we believe Blu-ray is the right format choice for them.”
It is very unlikely HD-DVD will take off after the last couple of direct blows it’s gotten.
