This is obviously in response to how most people said they wouldn't get involved in HD until the format war was settled. I guess Best Buy figures that the influx of Blu-ray support will off-set any HDDVD losses this marketing scheme will incur.
I agree with gideon. As a former Best Buy employee or an employee of any retail business for that matter, new revenue is where the big bucks lie. It looks like they are trying to woo those that have yet to take the plunge in the HD disc format. It would also lead to bigger attachments for HDTV sales as well, now that we know which format will be used its easier to attach a player for your new HDTV purchase with no worries about which format will end up being used exclusively.
Canadians don't know how to work their stolen iPods.
As a marketing move, its crap.
As a move that'll do good for the consumer and keep idiots informed its a case of win.
More people will buy blu-ray stuff now they know its the new standard. Pretty much what Corak and Gideon said. Should really say this is Sony's revenge for losing the last format war.
