Woolworths stores to sell BLU-RAY only starting March 1st - Blu-ray Forum

Here is an interesting article, hopefully it has not already been posted. Of course Woolworths is not a dedicated electronics store like Best Buy or Circuit City.

Woolworths announced this twice in one day! Maybe its the time difference or something.

Even though I don't know Woolworths because I don't live in the UK this is great news

woolworths dont exactly shout Hi Def but they do have a display in my local store, with day and date on the shelf with the dvd, but they are not cheap.

It sure is. One more nail in the coffin. One more domino striking down the next in line. A collateral effect that cannot be stopped.
