HD DVD cheaper than Blu? Yeah right!

[bloody_rain]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm also a supporter of Blu Ray discs. They are amazing.

Anyhow, this thread is about some claims people make that HD DVDs are cheaper than blu rays. I'm not going to argue about the players. I know that HD DVD players are cheaper than blu ray players, but I don't find that the movies are.

I was in Wal-Mart the other day and I was browsing the HD section (HD DVDs and blu rays) and whenever I came across a movie that was on both formats I always found that the blu ray version is cheaper. For example, I saw TMNT on both formats. It was $28.94 on blu ray and $34.94 on HD. Same thing with 300. $28.94 on blu ray and $34.94 on HD. Hell I even bought a blu ray movie for $15 once. The cheapest I've ever seen an HD DVD was $25 and that is very rare. As a matter of fact, I saw an HD DVD movie that cost $49.97!!

So is it maybe just like this where I live (Canada) or are HD DVD supporters just not aware of the facts? Has anybody else seen this, or am I hallucinating?
