or those Players still sit on the shelf....the point is the electronics area of Walmart has all kinds of DVD players this is just like any other DVD player to most people that shop at Walmart . the majority of people that are going to pick up this player of the current install base of fans of HD DVD and they are going to give them away as gifts for family.

that is they may also buy some of the HD DVD movies also to give as part of the gift which i see as certain.Now this may seem on the surface a problem because it may lure Warner Bros. to keep supporting Both formats and that is exactly what The HD DVD promotional group needs to Happen thats all they need to happen to pull a win. Even if Warner Bros. does not go exclusive They still get to stay in the game its all about getting to KEEP IHD around.

the problem with that is Warner Bros. knows that if they cannot generate enough Movie sales for Warner Bros. Movies on HD DVD this 4th Q: the head office wants them to make a choice and that choice of course would be Blu-Ray.

so how can you make them fail instead of buying that $98.00 HD DVD player buy Warner Bros. Blu-Ray movies with the same $98.00 by doing that its sure enough to show that Blu-Ray is the way to go for Warner and HD DVD will Fail sooner than later.
