Yeah right. Customers that buy DVDs at WalMart give a lick about this HD DVD-Blu-Ray war.

There is no format war, there never was an HD (DVD) format war.

Blu-Ray DVD is it end of story.

By the way, Wal-Mart is one of the largest sellers of first run movies anywhere and the second announcement in as many weeks, after Netflix to go all Blu-Ray.

Wal-Mart is the biggest chain retailer of almost any line of products they want to carry. No way would HD DVD come back from that... Now, where are all the blu ray authoring tools from Apple and Final Cut?

Also another problem for M$ But I suppose an EX Box can get a Blu Ray drive to work in it?
