Re: 90 Percent of Sales People Recommend Blu-ray Disc Over HD DVD

ReggieP I am not trying to be a dick here man, but are you freakin serious?!?!?! You have absolutely NOTHING better to do with your time than interview 37 people?!?! YOU EVEN COUNTED THEM AND PROBABLY RECORDED THE STATS AND EVERYTHING!! Dude I would seriously consider seeking psychiatric care if I were you. The format war has made you a little NUTTY. Not trying to be a jerk, just an observation.

Movielover, the customer service industry is very hard to work in. When I was a conv. store clerk in high school it was like Fast Times at Ridgemont High for me. I got so much action. MAN those were the days, all before marriage of course.

wow
100% of HD-DUD owners are gutted
it is funny to watch em wriggling about like little worms on a hook.thier replies to all of the weeks news are things like,,,,"well" and "erm" and "but" and not only this but apparently according to them because of HD-DUDs death it is only blu-ray adopters who are gonna suffer,you know with sony rammping the prices of the PS3 upto $1000 and blu-ray discs will go upto $50,how we all got screwed,how profile 1 players WONT play any films,but the funny thing is,in one years time BLU-RAY adopters wont be scratching their heads wondering what to do with thier blu-ray players,on the otherhand HD-DUD adopters will

"yeah erm well but but but my toshitba hd-dvd player is theeee best upconverter money can buy"

and of course lets not forget that hd-dud owners are not gonna get screwed cos when they buy their blu-ray players,they will all be profile 2
dont matter that they WASTED hundreds and in some cases THOUSANDS of dollars on their precious hd-dud players and movies

ah well atleast they can box the players and the films up and put em into storage along with their laserdisc collections

This is pathetic, you mean to tell me that you have nothing better to do with your time than to pick on people at work? This goes beyond being loyal to a format, you guys must have some kind of OCD.

OMG you must be a mind reader! I was thinking that same thing.

Well I didn't expect that much negativity, and I'm not surprised all from Blu-Ray supporters. It's gotta be some kinda mandate from you guys... Anyways, let me reply to your comments first, then I will tell you what I was doing. And I was't trying to be a fanboy either...

Ok, could you be anymore rude. My observations were based on a study. No, not loyalty to a format.

Yes I recorded every single stat. I also had a series of question to ask.


OK, now that the cat is semi out of the bag. I was approached by a firm, cannot say the name of the firm due to legal obligations. Anyways, a contract has been signed and I agreed to it. So, I have a four week assignment, to approach two different groups(employees of stores, and customers/general public, on the overall knowledge of Blu-Ray and HD DVD formats. The study is to get a overall basis, on what format is owned?, what format is preferred?, and catch this Do you know anything about the format war? There is more questions than this but, this gives you an idea of some of the types of questions asked. not exact questions, but similar. It keels like an SAT exam, sorta.

Anyways say what you will, I thought I would bring up some startling survey results, that I found, but hey you can always expect negativity here...

Hmmm... who would fund a pointless survey (and not a very scientific one or statistically relevant either). I can see someone doing this a year ago... but now? It's a little late, isn't it?

Actually, there is quite a bit more to it. Unfortunately I cannot say though. I gave generalizations of it's content. If it comes out, or the parties disclose their info, you will see it hit the public. It's a catch 22 situtation... hmm Damn, I don't quite know how to how to explain it? All I can tell you guys that is from no on I have to be completely impartial to either format, reguardless of what happens in the next four weeks. No more bashing or opinionated remarks. I have a totally different outlook on the work that I have to get done. The crappy part of it is that I have to dedicate 30 hours a week to it. The PAY is nice!!!
