Best Buy To Officially Promote Blu-Ray To Customers? Yeah Right

I read worst Best Buy's announcement with official recommendation of Blu-Ray product to their customer with a giggle. They are just taking the ride to get on the I'm-dumping-HD-DVD-Too headline train.

Haven't they been promoting and showcasing Blu-Ray since day one? What they have done in the past in promoting HD-DVD ? None really, not because they don't believe in the Format but it was Toshiba lack of marking effort to work with CE manufacturers and electronic retails like Sony did. No financial incentive means no showcase, simple as that.

If they believed in a clear winner out of this mess and aimed to assist customer with the right choice, they would have declared allegiance to one Format by now. The pimp just leaves enough room for Toshiba with a counter offer. Cha-ching $
