THE OFFICIAL THREAD: Fight for Blu-ray May 27th, buy an Extra Disc Day

[krinkle]

Our April 21st buying day, planned in conjunction with PS3 owners at PS3forums.com and the official USA Playstation forums was a great success. Six titles were put in to the top 100 rankings at Amazon.com.

The planned buying day succeeded in increasing awareness of the winning high definition format: Blu-ray disc. The day also succeeded in raising awareness of the #1 place to discuss AV on the web, AVSforum.com

The PS3 owners are at it again, planning another mass buying day on May 27th.

Here is the link to the Official USA Playstation Forums May 27th thread: http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...7311#U28767311

Here is the link to the PS3forums.com May 27th thread: http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread....13#post1309013

And here is the sister thread to this one and also a great site, Blu-ray.com. May 27th thread: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=8039

Now at highdefdigest too http://forums.highdefdigest.com/showthread.php?t=6986

And at PS3network.com http://www.ps3network.com/forums/ps3...html#post39330

Please do not hold off on regular orders. May 27th is a day to buy extra discs, ones that you might have missed otherwise. It is a day to show support for Blu-ray by purchasing movies you have always wanted but never got around to picking up.

PREPARE FOR GLORY



In all seriousness though, this has got to be a record for an organized buy day!

[krinkle]

With our continued strong support we can ensure that Blu-ray wins Quarter 2 as well.

[Leviathin25]

I'm in Ill buy a disc or 2 especially with all the good ones coming out on the 22nd.

[dvdmonster]

The day May 27th will be remembered forever. The day where all Sony employees (179 so far) will open an AVS account, order a Blu-Ray disc from Amazon and post about it. Sweet

J/K. Good luck to everyone. The more HD sells, the better for all real HD lovers.

[Wendell R. Breland]

For May 27, 2007 put me down for:

Battle Of The Bulge
Dirty Dancing
Donnie Brasco
Pirates OTC: The Curse Black Pearl
Revenge
Road Warrior, The

on Blu-ray Disc.

Ok just added the names:

180. Leviathin25
181. Blu-ry729
182. Wendell R. Breland

We only had 5 days lead time on April 21st. This day should turn out much bigger because we'll have more time to raise awareness in the Blu-ray movie/gaming communities.

Im in!!

[jwv651]

Oh what the hell put me down for another 62 bd movies.

It did need those buy one get one free days. I know I bought about 20 movies I wouldn't have had it not been for the Best Buy and Fry's deals. Now if we could just get some more of those deals for both formats I will be set.

Hush! Let the kids have their fun. I will be buying on both formats just like I have on all previous buy days. These buy days are good for both formats because they spark sales for both formats. These Blu guys are just smarting because the HD-DVD buy day was bigger and they want to out do it.

What is sad is the simple fact that they are not all Sony employees.

[krinkle]

Wow, I just noticed Planet Earth on Blu-ray has hit #6 on Amazon.com

My pre-order for the HD-DVD version will not be filled until May 24. I'm thinking of cancelling my order and getting it locally but its priced so much higher at the b&m stores. I would love to see the Blu and Red version in the top two spots.

[JE3146]

Add me. (NM, I'm already on there)

I'm in for:

Pirates 1
pirates 2
Apocolypto
Letters from Iwo Jima
Flags of our Fathers

Pre-order Jerry Maguire

[jwv651]

[MrPorterhouse]

I'm already on the list. I'll be getting:

POTC: Dead Man's Chest
POTC: Curse of the Black Pearl
Letters From Iwo Jima

I might buy more in the heat of the moment. I mean, I buy BD's as often as I can afford them. There are always more that I want, but just can't spend the money. However, it gets kind of addictive when everyone else in buying all around you and the posts keep rollin' in. I end up buying more than I had planned, but its fun anyways.

[ryoohki]

Add me for : Weeds, i'll buy all other the week of May 21 so.. i just can't wait (on vacation..)

[Joon TV]

I have already picked out 5 that I am for sure getting. I will probably get around 8-10 on the 27th.

[krinkle]

added you to the list.

I have all my May pre-orders in already. On May 27th I'll put in all of my June pre-orders. Probably about 7-10 discs.

[goceltics34]

Definitely count me in. I will be purchasing 4 extra movies for a total of 5. Blu Ray's are like crack. Very addicting.

[Chris Campbell]

I'm in for Apocalypto and The Fountain.

[batmanbegan]

Krinkle, I admire your zeal.. good going, dude

Got you guys down. Chris you're number 200.

[theforce8686]

Has anyone ever thought that these threads and buy-days were really started by Amazon employees?

[Mobius_570]

Now if only AVSForums had a direct link so they could get a small kick back from all of us then we would be helping them also. I would use the link everytime I made purchase on Amazon.

[MASrules]

I will buy on the 27th. I have many great Blu-ray movies to buy in May.

[dobyblue]

Both Pirates movies for sure.

[jwv651]

Now that is really funny...Made my day.

[xolan99]

Put me down for buying three or four movies.
