Local Target Blu-ray Stock - Blu-ray Forum

does your target have bd movies yet, because i went there today to buy some school supplies and i was looking for the bds since target usually has stuff for cheap

but i didnt find any!

does anybody know when they are going to start carrying them? or is it just my target?

Where in Texas are ya? I'm in Austin and I can tell you that the Targets near me need help both in stock and price.

My local target does have a couple to select from and usually not any of the new releases on time. I find it easier to just buy from Amazon or Frys.

One near South Mopac and Hwy 290W has a dozen or so titles but they cost more there than Best Buy. Holy balls, man - drive down 1325 and hit Fry's at Mo-Pac and Parmer. Great selection.

yeah i know about the frys

but that wasnt the case, i mean a best buy is just by the target and they have plenty of bds

i was just stunned because the target didnt have any!!

The Target I work at has had Blu-Ray and HD-DVD since Oct or Nov 2006. Prices are comparible to other places, sometimes lower. Selection is the issue. I doubt it will get much better until a format wins and sales get closer to DVD. But for now we are only really dedicating 4 feet of space for HD when we have over 100 feet on our movie wall. Not including all the other places we have DVD's.

I was just at my local Target store here in San Diego and the HD section was small, but the BD section was twice as big as HD-DVD and looked like it had been pillaged. The HD-DVD section looked like it hadn't even been touched. All the new releases for this week on BD had a slot and all were empty. Go Blu-Ray!

Yeah the new layout should be 4 facings Blu Ray...2 HD DVD.

Yep, the Target in my town went from having three columns of hd-dvd and 3 of blu-ray, to having 4 blu-ray and 2 hd-dvd. My local Hastings did basically the same thing. They know that consumers want blu.

It's the Target off of Kearny Mesa Rd off the 163. There weren't that many BD's left, they need to re-plenish.

Yep, I didnt see this thread earlier, but I went to one of my Targets this afternoon and was shocked to see the change. Put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. I had heard stories of other people's stores changing their displays around, but here in CT, there seemed to be equal spacing everywhere. i was starting to loose hope and think that maybe people here werent buying BRDs as much as the rest of the country. Seeing this new change today definitely made me happy.
