Contrary to your statement tere, g5sim, Blockbuster tend to cater to the more hardcore audiophilic audience rather than Walmart, which their core trget customers tend to shop for run-of-the-mill stuff catered to average Joes and Janes. You are correct when you say Walmart sold that amount worth of DVDs, and they especially carry mediums that cater to their bottom line (meaning they stock more DVDs than HD format mediums) , rather than encouraging HD adoption, which is what Blockbuster and Future Shop are trying to encourage the general public to embrace.

QUOTE(g5sim @ Aug 5 2007, 04:23 PM) yupe that is the problem - and when Wal-mart decides to tackle Blockbuster with their own renting, BBI will be out of business in no time. Well BBI's decision to gain benefits elsewhere by letting go the money that they can earn selling and renting HD DVD in more than 1000 stores is very telling on where the are heading. oh wait, their CEO was fired soon after the BD backing announcement Already in process, but getting a few of them for close friends from different discussion boards. Cheap Add Ons as low as USD160, plus a couple of PS3/PS3 related items. Malas nak buat bisnes lah, dont have a business bone in my body. My SoCal/FL trip end of this month/back here in mid-September should see me taking advantage of the "shipping-in quota" made available for staff. In addition to a few other juicy "tidbits" i can find from Best Buy, Futureshop, and such. Added on August 5, 2007, 4:24 pm you should bring lots of Add On home and sell them on the Bulk thread |
