Forums - Sony Discussion - Wal-Mart will only sell Blu-Ray players in store according to CNN.

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/business/2008/01/07/intv.blu.ray.rising.pope.cnn?iref=videosearch

 Sorry but you can't imbed this from the CNN website.  It doesn't look like Wal-Mart is abandoning HD-DVD discs in store.  They still sell HD-DVD players online still.

 This certainly isn't good for HD-DVD, but Best Buy does still sell more hi-def related material than Wal-Mart.  The analysts aren't very hopeful for HD-DVD in this video.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

 without HD-DVD they can focus on having some movies only available on Blu-ray or release the Blu-ray versions before the DVD or advertise a ton. Or all of the above.

HD-DVD - R.I.P.

Toshiba will have to throw the towel in soon. Maybe once they emptied the warehouse.



 

This actually isn't corroborated by other stuff online after I did some further research just to warn people, and some are saying he meant to say Target.

Still, this guy is not a junior analyst or anything, so he may know what he is talking about.

Now if only Toshiba bows out with dignity ....

Naw that won't happen.

I think he meant to say target, look at the date it says jan 6. Also if walmart made such an announcement it would have been all over the internets. I want hd dvd dead just as much as anyone else does but walmart is not blu quite just yet.
