Washington, D.C. (October 31, 2007) -- Toshiba says discount retailer Kmart has decided to exclusively carry Toshiba HD DVD players.

... Toshiba spokeswoman Jody Sally tells the publication that Kmart has decided to carry HD DVD instead of Blu-ray because of its lower price.

The Toshiba entry-level HD DVD player retails for $299, but is now available for $198 at several stores including Circuit City and Wal-Mart.

to quote Billy Madison: THE PRICE IS WRONG *****!

KMART sucks.... i don't shop there for anything except maybe last minute halloween items cause no one buys them there so they always have some cheap thing left.

stockstar1138 · 10-31-2007, 02:26 PM

seriously hd dvd, do you really think kmart is going to bring you back from the dead. they are getting a dead company to revive a dead format, what a retarded thing to do.

raginranger · 10-31-2007, 02:26 PM

I can't imagine Kmart would even sell hd movies. I don't think they even carry DVD's lol

davidPS3 · 10-31-2007, 02:28 PM

K-Mart most likely got some very needed $$$$ to sign up. I cannot think of a K-Mart anywhere in the Seattle Metro area??

Hussla · 10-31-2007, 02:28 PM

Lol this is hilarious!

Here in Australia K-mart is known for selling SHIT electronics, $1.99 crap!

The HDUD fanbots will be hailing this as the second coming whilst saying that Blockbuster going exclusive meant nothing and Netflix is the bomb!

KMART is the place you go to to buy products that suck! It is the place you go to buy things that are second hand, don't work, old technology, out-of-date... I bet you can still find 8 tracks down there...

cathexist · 10-31-2007, 02:29 PM

The Kmart near my house is pointless anyway...they have crap for products and mine doesn't even carry HD-DVD anyway...

The store is a mess

What's next? Woolworth's? Maybe Korvette's and Caldor.

I avoid my local K-Mart like the plague. It is the epitome of trashiness. All K-Marts I've ever been to are like that. Soooo messy and disorganized and out of date. My local K-Mart still keeps all DVD's behind glass cases and sells a nice selection of VCR's

sj001 · 10-31-2007, 02:32 PM

KMart? Who the hell goes there to buy any electonic stuff???

Next will be some major grocery store chain... give it up Toshiba, you are finished!

thrlride · 10-31-2007, 02:32 PM

If they are going exclusive does that mean they carried blu-ray before?

damandan05 · 10-31-2007, 02:34 PM

there isn't even one near me, my BB are loaded with blu (7 whole bays of shelf space, i walked in yesterday like OMG (hd upgraded to 4, was 2 to 2 ration before)). Their website has on near me that has been shutdown for well over 5 years, haha their rejoice sounds like laughing to me.

Blubaru · 10-31-2007, 02:34 PM

Even the poor people don’t shop at K-mart anymore lol
Everyone uses walmart.

Well here in Australia Woolworths owns Dick Smith which is one of the MAJOR electronics retailers in Australia, they sell latest tv's, dvds etc pretty much everything!

And They also own BIGW which is a BIG seller of DVD's.

Kmart seems to be doing alright here in Australia, cant comment on the states. But as I said they aren't known for selling quality electrical : Magnavox, Sanyo branded plasmas and other wierd and strange brands that I'd be too scared to even plug in!
