Blu-Ray camp organizes HD-DVD retaliation | PlayStation Universe (PSU)

On April 15th, members of the AVS Forum organized a HD-DVD buying spree with the hopes of overtaking the monthly dominated Blu-ray sales. AVS members chose April 15th because it would mark the one year anniversary of HD-DVD. This structured spending spree was clearly labeled a success as retailers witnessed thousands of HD-DVD titles being bought off of Amazon and other major HD-DVD retailers such as Best Buy. In retaliation, the Blu-ray camp and PlayStation fanbase, out of surprise at the success of the stunt, decided to hold their own “Buy-A-Thon,†but vowed to accomplish even greater sales numbers.

Using the site EProductWars as a guide, we can view the impact the Buy-A-Thon had on the charts. It is expected that Blu-ray will overtake HD-DVD within the next few days.

To help combat the spike in HD-DVD sales, members of PSU's PS3Forums have teamed up with members of the Official PlayStation Forums to impact Blu-ray sales even further. In under a day, the two forums have pooled nearly one hundred members to sign up.

The Blu-ray Buy-A-Thon is planned to be held on April 21st and May 27th. If you would like to participate in the event and help Blu-ray keep its lead in the next generation disk market, please visit one of the forums linked above and sign up.

First I heard the news that HD DVD had spiked over Bluray, then found out that it was the guys over at AVS forums, I thought how much desperate the HD-DVD and PS3 haters are getting.

But now, they had to go and plan a "retaliation".
I bet Sony and Microsoft, are right now, both having a good laugh with hands on their stomachs having see us fanboys be at war with each other.
