Is HD DVD M.I.A. at Costco.com?? - Blu-ray Forum

Manco · 08-07-2007, 07:38 AM

Hmmmm... I just went to Costco.com site to check out something when I decided to punch in a search for "Blu-ray" and "HD-DVD". The S301 came up for the Blu-ray search. However, the HD-DVD players seem to have gone missing except for the 360 add-on. Same thing was reported today at Target.com. Coincidence????

Costco will be carrying Blu-ray 4 packs (or already is). I don't think they are carrying HD-blah either. The Costco market is a good market for Blu to target. People who shop at Costco GENERALLY have disposable income and are willing to purchase higher end merchandise on impulse.

My local store has those 4-packs that you are referring too. Family packs, action packs, and another family pack. I think that they are 84.95.

But then they have a big stack of Sony Players right by the door and a display running on a 67" Samsung which is the first thing that you see when you enter.

No sign of HD-DVD.

Yeah, I read the same thing about CostCo regarding HD-DUD yesterday.

The Costco by me has a big stack of HD DVD players and no Blu-ray players.

My gut tells me that Toshiba is running low on inventory of generation 2 machines as they have likely stopped manufacturing them already, gearing up for the next generation of machines they just announced yesterday.
