UK Retailer WH Smith Blu Exclusive ?

[Dr Mike]

Went into WH Smith (Leicester Foose Park) at lunchtime today and they had a aisle end of BDs (all £20 or more but Spider-man trilogy boxset at £35 wasn't too bad) and no HD-DVDs anywhere in sight.

Was the first time I'd seen either format in one of their shops, but was also the first time I'd seen a rack of BDs anywhere without those funny red things next to them...

Have you checked at the "Canned Goods" section?

The only non-BD in my local WHSmith was the Planet Earth set. They do sell both formats online, but that's not the case instore. Hope that helps.

Perhaps the "Close to Expiry Date" section? :P

My local whsmith had neither last time I was there.
Zavvi however today had 6 times as many BD's as duds.
