Best Buy and Circuit City may cut back on the small titles, but there is NO way they stop selling movies like Transformers just because BLU ray will eventually win. People buying the HD DVD players during the 9 free movie week like I did are smart. Your getting close to $200 worth of movies, and a $175 dollar HD DVD player with 1080p. Transformers wont see Blu until at least late 2009 and neither will most large titles from Paramount and Universal. Its not like they have a stock room with ready to go Blu ray movies. WB planned on going exclusive to BLU in November, and look how long its taking to bring out Batman Begins. This format war will not end until Q4 2008 at the earliest. WB Spielberg Disney Sony and Fox look like it will control most of the Christmas movie sales which is when Paramount and Universal will switch.
