A few weeks ago, my wife applied for a Buy.com Visa to get a pretty sizable discount on my Christmas gift (with the intention of just paying it off immediately). The other day it came in the mail along with the standard disclosures and pamphlets. I took a look at the "Directory of Benefits and Services" and a few things caught my eye. Now I love buy.com because they have some really amazing deals on some cool products, but I think they need to update their marketing "collateral". This is picture of the inside flap of the brochure showing what kind of cool products you can "find" on buy.com:
There were two lines that stuck out like sore thumbs. First: "Hollywood Blockbusters on VHS and DVD"
VHS?!?!? Seriously in 2008?
The second (mind you we got this in the mail in December of 2008): "The Hottest PC and Console Games including Playstation, Dreamcast, and Nintendo64".
Um... The Sega Dreamcast was discontinued in March of 2001 and Sega no longer even makes consoles! And the Playstation and Nintendo64? Sony and Nintendo have released TWO generations of console since those were on the market (Playstaton 2 and Playstation 3/Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii).
I'm surprised the new Milli Vannilli "record" wasn't available.
