Blockbuster’s Blu-ray Endorsement Having Major Impact on HD DVD Sales
Xbox-Scene :: Tuesday, June 19, 2007
From gizmodo.com (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/hd-dvd-on-the-way-out%3F/blockbusters-blu+ray-endorsement-having-major-impact-on-hd-dvd-player-sales-270313.php ): [QUOTE] Blockbuster’s decision to support Blu-ray in all of its 1,450 stores is having a bigger impact than it seems. A tipster at an unnamed retailer tells us they’ve had more HD DVD player orders canceled over the last few days than they’ve seen over the entire life cycle. The kicker? All of them were canceled because of the Blockbuster announcement. Not only that, new sales of HD DVD players are nonexistent, with Blu-ray being the only things moving now.
