I was impressed to see there were more Blu-ray then UMD, and more UMD then there was HD-DVD :P

Sweet!

GasCat · 09-27-2007, 10:10 PM

They carry? That surprises me. The ones I have gone into were, "Slow down...what's Blu-Ray?"

wisper9999 · 09-27-2007, 10:15 PM

My Walmart used to carry the latest BD...now the latest comes in a week after it was released. Walmart - Hudson N.H

This week though they have that big four way with hd-dvd signs on it about the movie knocked up

CptGreedle · 09-27-2007, 10:44 PM

I went to a Barne's and Noble's once and asked if they had any Blu-ray.. the woman had no idea what it was so i tried to explain. She looked it up and saw none. I left with only a book, but found that online they have 300+ Blu-ray titles (at awful prices). Now I realize my mistake... she must have typed in "Blue Ray". Oi! I have to remember the simpletons do not know how it is spelled! *headdesk*

Sources at my McDonald's told me that they are moving out entire french fry stations to bring in huge racks of HiDef movies. It's a whole new campaign called the "Blu-mac". Anyone else seen this in their neighborhood?? That's the story from mine. Dunno

MouseRider · 09-28-2007, 05:02 AM

I've yet to spot any BD in the Wal-Marts around me.

What do they go for on average?

TruBlu2 · 09-28-2007, 12:05 AM

Great, Good post!!! WB, how do you feel about that?

mike79 · 09-28-2007, 12:08 AM

The wal-mart's around me suck. They had 2 blu-ray's & 2 HD-DVD's when I went there. I thought I was just missing the main section so after walking up and down every Isle in the movies section I asked and they said that was all they carry. Not even the trarget's around here have them.

BillCable · 09-28-2007, 12:38 AM

I stopped by my WM and they had a new island display for Blu-ray and HD-DVD. It had 32" LCD monitors on all 4 sides displaying movies and stuff. One side was doing a PS3 demo when I was there. There were a lot more Blu-ray discs available than HD-DVD, but it looked like it was supposed to promote them evenly.

same at 1WAL-MART at 281&1604 in S.A.

jangofett · 09-28-2007, 12:46 AM

I guess that my wally world is about avg : 23 BD's , 7 HD-DVDs in titles when I checked last, nothing that I really wanted so I'm going to check out BB :-)

The only titles that I can remember for BD are "Bridge to Terebithia" and the Final Fantasy movie ......LOL not doing that

Existentialist · 09-28-2007, 01:33 AM

As much as some depise Wal-mart, they will play a crucial part in this war, and I would recommend buying form there if they carry blu. I am going to get FF 2 there tues.

dmasterscott · 09-28-2007, 01:59 AM

I have some sources at my Wal*mart and this is what they told me;

Like Billcable was describing, most of the stores should get this "Island" They should be expanding there discs a little bit more in Nov. to Dec.

They plan on selling both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD throughout December (So no exclusive format yet)

There also suppose to run deals on the Blu-ray/HD-DVD Discs and players in Nov-Dec

On another note:
My Wal*mart use to have no blu-ray and HD DVD discs at all.. They've been out of stock for weeks. Within the past week the shelf is now 75% Full. I was actually surprised to see that they had the Planet Earth Series available.
