it must be nice for Wally's World, but I would never set foot in any of their stores. The smell of plastic shoes and cheap no name clothes along with overpriced food just doesn't cut it for me.

i hope blu ray movies go down in price because of this.

I pity all the fools that jumped on the $99 Toshiba HD-A2 deal a few months ago at Walmart.

I don't regret buying the HD-DVD add-on for my xbox. the moves that I have still look fantastic and that's not going to change.

/me hopes for some good sales on HD-DVD movies.

I own neither format, but I'm glad Blu Ray won. From a strictly technical standpoint, Blu Ray is superior, so I'd like survival of the fittest to work.

Also, it gives me pleasure to see Universal make yet Another Dumb Executive Decision.

one more nail in the coffin

I just love how some people say "upconverted DVD's look just as good as bluray" obviously they're watching the movies on a craptacular 32" 480i standard definition monitor.... or they say HD DVD has just as good picture quality, I'm sorry but 720p < 1080p.

The best reading comes from AVS forums . com, since there are some guys so deeply attached to their HD-DVD bandwagon they deny any of the negative HD-DVD press is actually going to kill their format..

Can't say I'm surprised - I called BD's success over HDDVD at the very beginning, especially after the PS3 made BD standard.

HDDVD just can't keep up with that level of marketing and customer recognition, regardless.

This coffin is getting a lot of nails.

Even though I have a Toshiba A3 and about 11 HD-DVD movies I say this is good news. If the format had to be the one to lose at least it's going to die relatively quickly and not drag it's feet on it's way to oblivion.

Give up, HD-DVD.

HD-DVD is already halfway sunken.

This move is just coup de'grace.

Follow the money..... No walmart.... No future....
