Why are Walmarts and some BestBuys going against exclusivity? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

The Wal-Mart super centers in my town have a lot more Blu-ray Discs out on display than HD-DVD. There's just a handful of "red" titles.

Within this past week our local Hollywood Video location removed all the HD-DVD titles from its high definition section. It's all Blu now.

Well, they may have so many HD-DVDs because nobody wants to buy them.

You will see some stores with more than others becuase they pull from the stores where they are not selling and send them to where they are. There must be more HD DVD buyers in your immidiate area.

But that's bound to change. (people buying HD DVD that is)

I thought only Wal-Mart announced exclusivity....BB just said they would "recommend" BD as the preferred choice.
Both my Wal-Marts have about 50/50, BB has about 25/75. The important thing is, the better man won. Now, if people would just realize the size of the shaft they're getting from Microsoft...
