Well no one can ever say that boys and gals over at Bestbuy.ca Marketing division are subtle, due to their latest marketing ploy on their website in the wake of Toshiba pulling out their support of HD DVD.



One has to wonder if this really smart from a business stand point, I mean don’t they want to try and sell off their remaining HD DVDs to unsuspecting chumps. By telling everyone that the HD DVD is dead you might as well just throw those discs into the garbage because no-one’s going to buy them now. Although I gather what they are trying to do is encourage all those who have yet to jump into high definition to get off the fence and pick up a Blu-ray player and a bunch of 35 dollar movies that they already own. I myself took the plunge two weeks ago, and bought T2, among others; on Blu-ray (which I already owned on DVD) I just couldn’t resist Arnold’s oneliners and explosions in HD.
