"Starting next month Best Buy says it will prominently display Blu-ray players and discs in its stores and recommend the format over rival HD DVD, according to a Reuters report.

"Because we believe that Blu-ray is fast emerging as that single format, we have decided to focus on Blu-ray products," Brian Dunn, Best Buy's president and chief operating officer, said in a statement Monday."

I just ordered DMC4 off of Ebay, whoo!
In a week or two I'm gonna order burnout or R&C too, so I'll play you then.

Ok, the 360, and burnout, technically is not mine. The 360 is my Sister's boyfriend's who is currently in Belize till may, and left the 360 in my care. I bought Burnout for him because he bought me a PS3 controller when I was low in money. But, now that I've played burnout and freaking love it, I'm gonna want my own copy for when he gets back. :].

And there goes the 360s stronghold in Europe. I wonder if the 360 will be able to hang onto it's lead throughout 2008 in the UK though.

I've just realised I've replied to you, Thom, 3 times in a row. I'm not stalking you, honest.

Absolutely not, this was with the infamous "high price" and "no games" scenario.

The fear I'm feeling right now... THE FEAR!!

Never in Europe generally speaking, but in the UK it has been perceived as such.

Was it ever really such a stronghold in the UK to begin with?
