Say goodbye to HD-DVD movies at Best Buy!

Goodbye HD-DVD, hello more Blu space!
HD-DVD movies/software are being sent back and out of the stores. This is supposedly happening at the end of the month, give or take a few days. I work there and saw the memo. Other employees reading this can probably verify this as well.

I don't know if they will go on a final steep sale though. But hopefully this will give all their space to blu-ray!

At my local Best Buy, they have done some serious moving in the movie department. Where they used to keep the CRT TVs (which are completely gone as far as I could tell), they have now moved all the video game related items (systems/games/peripherals). They have also expanded the movie section to fill the space formerly taken up by the games. This may lead to a larger Blu-ray footprint in the store, they did have a huge spot showcasing I Am Legend on Blu. We shall see, but the HD DVD zone is down to two sections from 3 now.

Man, I wish they would do a fire sale, as their are a few titles I would buy that I know are obscure and they prolly wont make it to blu anytime soon... prolly years. (Method Man Concert, Harsh Times)

Other than that, Good Riddens!

Yeah, I was waiting for them to dump them for $5-$10 each.

That sucks.

Just to expand on that, Best Buy's internal newsletter stated from the beginning that the 30% off would be the only discount before the discs are sent back.
