LMAO...I am well aware of where the caps lock is, but I was too excited and needed to capitalize every single word. This is no b.s. and the guy who had gone in was my brother's boss who does not have a Blu-Ray player or HD-DVD. He is waiting for the war to end and does not need to lie.

you gotta wonder if this is corporate policy or just a single store. Remember Sony is a top dog in the BDA, money is getting waved around.

I wish my Best Buy would do that.

Locally I have Best Buy, FYE, Newbury Comics and Walmart selling HDM. I wouldn't mind seeing HD DVD ejected from all of them. It's time for the HD DVD crowd to realize it's over.

^^ I was worried about the typos - and whether or not they were intentional. Good news, indeed. But, I'm not going to hold my breath...

This is great news for your best buy, I would be happier if all the stores followed though.

[ESUNintel]

It be good if it were corporate. Stores like Sears only carry Blu-ray in stores, and HD-DVDs online.

I won't beleive it until I see it.

I don't know if $ is being waved around and honestly at this point with *****amount I could care less who pays off who. I think this policy is for my local Best Buy.

Great news even if it's Only one store. Now if they stop selling the Players as well it would be a Double hit to HD-duD. Sorry my Caps was messed up.

If we get their shelving it would be icing on the cake. My Target is like everyone else's and is pro-Blu-Ray. If someone can count to ten, they will know which format is leading.

[TruBlu2]

Awesome news indeed. I hope this will reflect a Best Buy nationwide policy.
Then victory will be at hand.

May the Blu be with U

I agree 100%...I plan on going their soon myself and speaking to them, so I will keep all my Blu-Brothers posted.

Well, I just went into the brand new Best Buy in Tempe, AZ (Tempe Marketplace), and this was the first time I'd seen a BB devote more shelf space to HD-DVD movies versus Blu-ray. I was surprised, but it appears they're far from choosing, or even preferring, sides.

are you sure there aren't blu-rays in other places. for example my bestbuy appears 50:50 at first glance and then there is whole other blu-ray 4-sided cubical in the middle of an aisle with a blu-ray endcap that has even more movies on it.

I call BS.
