Not only did the link point to the articles 2nd page only, but there is a lot of misinformation and spin in that article.
Article Spin: They still tried citing NPD sales numbers for the
You-Pay Blu-Ray players as 93% for a given week.
Real World Fact: It has been made clear in other articles by NPD themselves that the figures were grossly off of normal from
You-Pay players being given free with TV purchases that week.
Article Spin:Then they tried to say that "This week, two key retailers, Best Buy and Netflix Inc., both got off the fence and threw their support behind Blu-ray exclusively,..."
Real World Fact: Only Netflix is backing You-Pay exclusively. Best Buy will still sell HD DVD players and movies, but decided to recommend
You-Pay players to customers when asked about the HD technologies.
In short, this article is nothing more than
You-Pay Blu-Ray supporters writing about news that already came out days before just so they can try to convince others to buy into You-Pay.
