Retailers who carry BD &/or HDDVD - Blu-ray Forum

tobythetitan · 04-09-2007, 07:06 PM

I live in a fairly small city and own both HDDVD and BD-The closest Best Buy or Circuit City is a good 30 minute drive (one is an hour)-I have a Target, Wal-Mart etc-about all other big retailers but they have yet to stock BD or HDDVD. Does anyone know when they plan on doing so? I could do it online-but sometimes you just get the jonesin' for a new movie.

The BD market is still very small compared to DVDs. When you live in a small city, chances are big chain stores won't bother UNLESS the demographics show that people there are adept at adopting new technologies.

So there are two ways you can do to get your Best Buy or Circuit City to start carrying BDs.
1) Show off your PS3s or BD player to your friends and family. Get them to get into BD. Become a BD advocate. That way there will be local demand.

2) Buy locally. Pre-order titles in your store. Support the Mom & Pop shops if you have to, especially the video game ones.

I know that the targets by my place stock BD, but in very limited quantities.
