I've noticed no new HDDVD in the 6 Wal-Marts in my area since 300, which had both formats. Every week that intermingled Blu-Rays from each of the available new releases(perfect stranger,wildhogs,vacancy)
I am sure that consumer demand is the reason for those titles, yet none of the Wal-marts in my area have a designated High Def Section. they just put the BluRays with the new releases and go with it.
I believe if Sony presented them with a plan and got a current line of Blu-rays that remain well stocked through Christmas I believe it would help. It may not show up in the Nielson ratings, yet the orders and demand will increase through the major studios

Wal-mart and Blu-ray - hmmmm! What a virtual paradox. I wouldn't
by Blu-ray from Wal-mart if they were selling them for $10.00/ea.!
Anyone who shops at Wal-mart is, obviously, oblivious to their business
practices. There are plenty of places to buy "Blu" w/o hurting the rise of
the format. Just an opinion (and you know what those are like ; / )

So, I guess, to each his/her own!
