In PC Data's October ranking, BigStar ranked 17 among all online retailers, with 1.4 million unique users and a buy rate of 6.2 percent. BigStar was the only filmed entertainment site in the Top 20 that is exclusively dedicated to filmed entertainment products (More information can be found at www.pcdataonline.com). David Friedensohn, CEO of BigStar said: ''We believe that our number one position is a result of the special affinity our customers have for our site because of our high level of customer service, content and great values.'' The newly published statistics from PC Data confirm BigStar's lead over time. For August, September and October, BigStar has consistently been the number one filmed entertainment site in terms of purchases among US households. According to a recent survey by Ernst & Young, online shoppers in the 1999 holiday shopping season are projected to triple those of last year, with videos among the top five categories purchased. BigStar is ready to serve the projected increase in customers. ''With special holiday bargains and over 34,000 videos and DVDs to choose from, bigstar.com provides a welcome environment for practiced and new online video shoppers,'' Friedensohn said.
