Blu-Ray smokes HD-DVD. HD-DVD. Universal and Paramount come to Daddy Blu-Ray.

It must depend on the area. The CC in my area has always been split 50/50 between blu-ray and HD DVD. Hardware-wise, they've favored blu-ray. The end-cap you see when you enter the store is blu-ray. The home theater area (with chairs, TV, etc. so you can watch movies) initially had 1 blu-ray setup and 1 HD DVD setup but for several months now has been blu-ray only. The latest change is that there is a blu-ray movie display, that you see when walking in the store, that advertises blu-ray and has several of the more popular movies in it.

Haven't had a chance to see if there are clearance items yet.

Sounds exactly like the CC in Woodbridge, VA.

Sounds exactly like the CC near me; just south of Denver, CO.

I will just go around and post on every website there is to talk trash about blu dud. Come to av forums where all of us love the hd format even if hd goes out of business which it will not because all we need is just 1 studio support and we have 2
Go red, down with blu, red rules, blu sucks and so do you.


What a loser. Go back to your closet and keep listening to your 8-track tapes, lol.

Spectacular!
