Local Walmart Selection

[elwaylite]

So I walk into walmart today for some shopping, decided to check out electronics to see what players they had:

3 HD-D1's
4 HD-A2's
NO BD players

Very irritating.

Not many people go to Wal-Mart to buy their high-end electronics.

Understood, BUT a little advertising would not hurt. Throw a Sony 300 up there or something.

Same at my Wal-Mart, but they were SOLD OUT!!!

I'm in Panama City, Florida and it seems that all the retail stores in my area; Best Buy Circuit City and Wal-mart are 80 percent Blu. My Wal-Mart has a lot more Blu in the past 2 months than before.

Maybe mine just sucks. The HD Movie rack is a combined rack of BD and HDDVD and equal to about 1/4 the selection at best buy.

Mine was that way but here in the past two months things are looking a lot different. I'm a cosmetologist and I've probably sold 40 in the past year just by talking about blu and the format wars etc.

Yeah, mine just started carrying last month. They are starting to develope a decent selection.

Same here. 1 out of my 4 local Wallies carry Blu-Rays.

All Wal-Mart locations within the Niagara region carry both Blu-ray and HD DVD. Though it's clear that Blu-ray movies take up more space than the HD DVD movies.

They are selling Venturer's HD DVD players though. Ugh.
