Sony Execs Hit Like "Stung Mullets" After HD DVD Decision

Senior Sony executives are according to one senior insider acting like "Stunned Mullets" today following the decision by key Blu ray partner JB HiFi to drop their exclusive support for Blu ray and start selling the Toshiba backed HD DVD.

According to the Federal Government web site on Australian colloquialism to act like a stunned mullet is described as being "Dazed and confused, someone who will wander 'like a stunned mullet'; in a furious rage, they will be 'mad as a cut snake' and in a state of undeniable anger".

The change of mind by JB Hi Fi has not only stunned Sony but the whole CE industry after Scott Browning the Marketing Director decided earlier this year to only go with...

My mullet is stunned as well.

One can only wonder what caused this exchange of hats to take place. A movie studio is one thing, but a retailer is quite another. I suspect a bribe had something to do with it.

What the hell is JB Hi Fi? I assume its an Australian retailer?

What the hell is HB HIFI?Chutebox

Thanks anyway

lol BEST BUY OF AUSTRALIA MY A** ive never seen 1 in my life and i live in the city, JB hi fi is nothing but a radio shack that has 1 store every 1000km lolsupras989

Too many. That isnt exactly a bad thing though.

But they are hardly comparable to a super store, mega chain like best buy.

May I ask what city you live in?

with the poor showing from bluray so far, it's safe to say many are starting to rethink their partnering with bluray.

just because someone is "bluray exclusive" doesn't mean they will have to stay that way.

a fact the cows never could grasp....

wait...it gets worse...;)

HD-DVD is still going to lose . Retailers like bestbuy amazon, frys, target, futureshop and circuit city are supporting blurays buy buying one get one free this week.dobbywii

Its going to lose because retailers are having a sale? Perhaps they are selling em buy one get one free cuz they can't sell their stock? :) lol.

This is pretty big for Sony here in Australia, JB Hifi are a popular chain and the PS3 was pretty much being advertised as a $1000 Blu-Ray player all year long. Oops!
