You are right about the 1080P, I believe the 1080P version is $320.
I wasn't aware that Target and BJ were both exclusive to the format. It would be interesting to known why they would even do this, I see no benefit.

True Blockbuster online is renting HD-DVD, but Blockbuster stores that don't have HD-DVD in them won't be getting them. All Blockbuster stores will have Blu-ray. Blockbuster Online is a small profit compare there stores.
Plus $230 to $320 isn't a bad investment, but that's just start up cost. How much money will all the HD-DVD movies cost? In then end, if Blu-ray wins and HD-DVD are no longer made. You're looking at a larger investment than $230 to $320.
It's been proven that every month from January 2007 until now. Blu-ray movies have been selling 2 to 1 over HD-DVD. I believe this will only increase in time. Maybe this is why Target and BJ went Blu.
