Great news if true but I'm not celebrating this one just yet.

i am not also..though the NEWS from TARGET just may push other retailers to do the same. if Walmart does the same as Target. that will pretty much be the death knell for HD DVD. in my OPINION thats if it happens.

This is great news for Blu-ray in the UK, high street retailers might not be selling as much as they used to compared to online, but this will still have a big impact in terms of brand awareness.

Woolworths is very family and youngster oriented, and this will tie in very nicely when movies like Spiderman 3, Pirates 3 and Cars come along on Blu-ray later this year.

Hopefully we'll see a PS3 price cut before Christmas too, even if it's just to get the price down to the same as in the US, and families will be able to afford to buy a PS3 and some of the big hitting Blu-ray movies for Christmas.

So you give this more creedance than "I was talking to the manager at my local best buy" threads? This is getting a lot of mileage (too much) for an anecdotal report that has no official sources.

At least it has pics of the new display in question, which does look pretty slick in my opinion.

It sounds credible to me, but I will certainly be going into the local Woolworths where I work and at home to have a look.

Have any forum members seen Blu-ray on sale first hand in a Woolworths store?

I looked in Woking just now and there were no Blu-ray discs displayed.

With the upto date new's about more studios going to blu-ray and the stance from Target. i would if this is indeed true , wonder how long its going to take for the stores to start stocking BLU-RAY disc's.

i live in OHIO in the states. a little place in Columbus , called GROVEPORT the funny thing is in my Walmart They have been stocking BLU-RAY before Stores in COLUMBUS , and were less than 10 miles from another Walmart Store in South end of COLUMBUS. We had BLU-RAY on the shelves 3 months prior to them getting their's and now both have them and are selling good. since the price drop of the PLAYSTATION 3..and the BDP-300.

so I WOULD NOT COUNT THIS RUMOR out NOT IN THIS DAY AND AGE i am not saying its a fact . no far from it i am just saying when a store like TARGET just did what it did. it is going to have an effect or other retail chains. i expect news from Walmart soon .
