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

Walmart already carries both BlueRay and HD DVD players.

So tell me, are both these Hi-Def formats in 1020i, or 780p. Nice screw job to all the folks that bought Hi-Def TV's...in 780p. Whoops, now here comes the 1020i format, at $1000.00+ over the 780p TV's. Is anyone [broadcast, cable, or satellite] even offering the 1020i format?

I'm still using a vintage 1996 50" Pioneer analog projection TV, and playing Laser Discs, thank you very much!

Netflix has a complete selection of both formats and no wait time. I stick with the original (Netflix) even though there's a BlockBuster within two miles. 1) All the yrs of getting ripped off by BlockBuster has soured me, 2) BlockBuster is a WalMart/Target mega corp, 3)Netflix is back in my mail every two days

since walmart represents 40% of all video and audio sales in north america, they are the linchpin for any format, if the studios want to eventually have the format succeed. i agree, its not their nature to be on the cutting edge, but if they decide on 'just one' of these formats, the other is a goner.

Never heard of 1020i, but I own a 1080i, and it is being replaced by the newer 1080p this year. I think you were referring to this, were you not?
