RE: Think about this

>> I don't have details about all that went on with Blockbuster, <<

Then maybe you shouldn't insinuate Blockbuster's decision was motivated by anything other than sales/rental numbers and shelf space. Frankly, all of Blockbuster's decisions are motivated by that.

>> but didn't it strike you as interesting that we heard about both Blockbuster's and Target's move from the Blu-Ray group PR machinery rather than Blockbuster or Target themselves? <<

I don't know what you mean. Corporate PRs go out across the wire and are picked up by all kinds of news agencies. The fact that groups promoting Blu-ray trumpeted the news louder is an obvious consequence of this particular news. I think the original news source I saw for this was Associated Press.
