It makes no sense for Wal-Mart to be pushing HD-DVD, when a huge number of titles the family oriented clientèle would be interested in will be from Disney, on Blu-Ray only!
Anyone who thinks Wal-Mart is going to be backing HD-DVD is a big way should take a trip into the store and view the diminished HD-DVD presence for themselves.
The only confirmed cheap players we know about at this point are Blu-=Ray players from Funai - a large supplier of cheap brand DVD players to Wal-Mart (Funai in fact was named Wal-Mart supplier of the year a few years back). SO what seems way more likley, are cheaper Blu-Ray players at Wal-Mart, possibly in conjunction with some Disney specials.
Blu-Ray, Purple-Smith, Green-Jack how care!!!
I am too poor to spend my pay check on new format every week.
Wal-Mart is making a big mistake. Blu-ray discs are outselling HD-DVD every week, more major movie studios and electronic giants are supporting it. Now Blockbuster too. Blu-ray is nearly there and we'll find out this holiday season.
this article is amazingly misleading, and its author's bias is blatantly obvious. starting an article about the news of blockbuster choosing exclusive blu-ray support with a paragraph about 'walmart 'apparently' choosing hd-dvd' is not only editorially awkward but extremely misleading. the walmart hd-dvd thing is an old rumor that was proven false a long time ago. the much more likely and recent actual news is that walmart has made a deal with sony over exclusive sales of high def equipment, and this likely will include exclusive support of blu-ray.
again, really embarrassing 'news' reporting.
Is Blu -Ray some kind of bittorrent client? I prefer Azureus with the safepeer plugin. Really excellent playback and surprisingly inexpensive.
