Yeah, it's probably easy to have great BR "sales" when you're throwing them around in all directions. |
promotions dont count towards sales unless its rung up in store and given for free and HD DVD has had this same promotion for the last 3 months, not to mention 2 free movies (that counted toward sales) with the purchase of the matrix set as well....so for a $250 player in june and the $70 matrix set you got The player, The Matrix set (3 movies) plus 2 of you choice from the store (which counted toward sales) and then 5 free mail in movies.....so thats be 10 movies and the player for $330.........but i see that had little effect on the sales ratio....way to comment on something you know nothing about, just because you hate the PS3 and Sony doesnt mean you know diddly abouteverything Sony does, as proven by your post. |
Any sources for that? I made a pretty generic claim, but yours is quite specific, so go ahead and prove it. |
Its common knowledge that promotions are paid for by teh promoting group in this case the BDA or HD DVD Association, its how pormotions work, if you mail away for such a sale it is not counted as a sold disc its promotional, if you get 2 free discs with the purchase of a movie (Matrix) and its rung up at teh counter that ring up sends the data to information colection that the disc has passed the counter and is marked sold even though they are rebating the cost immediately. Like i said, if you dont know what youre talking about just pass along and dont comment, some of you see sony or Blu Ray and just put your foot in your mouth and then when someone puts you in your place you stomp your foot and demand links, maybe you should do some research before you run your mouth off, i dont owe you any links for your ignorance or laziness. What am i supposed to prove that the Matrix was being old over fathers day with 2 free discs and a HDA2 price drop? Am i supposed to show you links for something that is COMMON FREAKIN KNOWLEDGE to anyone who has remotely followed BDA or HDDVD? Just because you come here smelling something positive for Sony dont get on your high horse and demand info to be fed to you for your ignorance of not knowing what teh f*ck youre talking about when you start making condescending comments that arent true at all about promotional sales counting towards nielson. |
I'd still like to see some proof, but I'll accept your correction. Anyway, there are other promotions besides the one you've mentioned. For example, the latest Amazon promotion for the PS3 will surely count for Blu-Ray sales. When I made my original post I was thinking about all of that, not the 5-disc promotion specifically. |
Well youd be right about Amazon, its free disc given by amazon, you do not mail away, it is not sitting allocated somehwere, its just a normal movie that amazon is giving you that THEY are paying for to buy form their store so instead of you purchasing it Amazon is, thats hwy its counted as a sale.
And if you want proof you seem able enough to look into it yourself and learn something about the stuff you try debating, and if you dont care enough to know wtf youre talking about dont post, seems simple enough to me.
