Amazon schools customers on HD 101

SEATTLE Amazon.com today announced that has launched a new customer knowledge center, Amazon High-Def 101 (www.amazon.com/hd101), designed to help customers make sense of the massive amount of information available on the high-definition home entertainment marketplace.

According to the company, Amazon High-Def 101 allows visitors to explore a comprehensive lineup of HD-related products such as HDTVs, movie players and game systems, while getting the facts on how to "high-def" their homes. Visitors also have access to other HD product offerings and new content, including educational videos and weekly blog posts highlighting the latest trends.

"There are few resources today where the public can find simple and concise information about high definition," said Peter Faricy, vp of movies and music at Amazon.com. "Our goal with the Amazon High-Def 101 customer knowledge center is to provide our customers with centralized, easy to-understand information that will help demystify high-definition entertainment. Amazon High-Def 101 is a place where anyone can come to learn and ask questions about the complex HD landscape. We will continue to expand and evolve the site to meet our customers' needs."
