Local "Movie Gallery" just got High def rentals. - Blu-ray Forum

UTVOL06 · 11-12-2007, 09:04 PM

Went by my local Movie Gallery today, which is the only rental store in my small town that just got a walmart. They will start renting both Blu-ray and HD-dvd tomorrow(Tuesday 13th). They showed me the box that was shipped to them and it must have had about Close to 50 movies for both formats in the box. They said they will carry both formats and will get new releases weekly from here on out. I told them I'd be coming by a lot.

Just thought it was pretty amazing a small hick town like mine got a bunch of Blu-ray rentals at a movie gallery.

I'll start saving some money and only buy movies I really want on Blu-ray and rent the rest. Hopefully they will end up renting out a lot more Blu-ray than HD-DVD and go exclusively Blu instores like Blockbuster has. One can only hope.

Awesome but why HD-DVD? My Hastings only rents Blu-Ray (It helps to be Manager's grandson).

I wish they would only rent Blu-ray. This a very small town and not a lot of wealthy people here like some bigger cities. I'm willing to bet that the main people renting these movies in a small town like this are PS3 owners. So there should be a definite bias towards Blu-ray for there rentals over hd-dvd. Hopefully the rental rates of Blu over HD-dud logged into there computers will eventually get upper management to go Blu exclusive.

I'm gonna be sure and push Blu-ray as much as I can to friends and Family I know that own a PS3 in town. That includes my 9yr old nephews that own a PS3...

Yeah, my local Movie Gallery just got in about 75 blu's and around 50 hd dvd's.
I wish they only had blu, but atleast I finally have a place to rent them.

By the way, do you know how much they are charging for rentals?
