Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,


Blockbuster announced they will go exclusively Blu-ray. How much will this effect the format wars? Will this send HD DVD the way of the Beta? Could this be the Sony KO punch, or does BB really have that much clout? Sound the alarm or hit the snooze button?

it will depend now on what walmart does....the players for both camps continue to struggle.
Just for clarification; of the HiDef video offerings currently available, Blockbuster will only carry Blue-Ray in their B&M stores, but will carry both Blue-Ray and HD DVD on line.
Jaybo, I do not think that Walmart's primary customer base is into cutting edge tech video and audio. I somehow do not see Walmart being a big player in the format wars. I am sure they would still be selling 8-tracks if they could find a source.

I could be wrong. I only go into my local store about twice a year. Walmart is my last resort store and it usually disappoints.
