blu-ballz Member Member since:Jan 2008	Why are Walmarts and some BestBuys going against exclusivity? Around the NW suburbs of Chicago, I went to several walmarts and 3 Best Buys and guess how many different BD discs they had "out"? WalMart - only 5 different BD movies BestBuy - only 17! HD-DVDs Walmart - around 20 BestBuy - all of them! what gives here? I understand they are trying to sell off the old discontinued HD-DVD discs but it seriously confuses the uninformed consumer when they purposely have a giant HD-DVD display immediately when entering the store with the "Pink Kuhlman Cancer stuff" and "RED AIDS" thing and 1/8th of the number of BDs as Harry Potter and other HD-DVDS. All the blu-rays are hidden in the back of the store on a single half-shelf. With a crapload in boxes in the stockroom. Similar goes for WalMart's electronics dept. I asked, "where are all your Blu-Rays?" Indian cashier states "All disc on shelf, you need HDDVD?" If these stores are now "Blu-Exclusive" shouldn't the employees know that?
