Target Selling Blu-Ray Instead of HD-DVD
Is this a big win for Blu-Ray? Surely it sends a message to shoppers. Couple that with Blockbuster's recent announcement that they will only carry Blu-Ray discs, and you have two huge consumer-facing companies making the choice for you, like it or not.
UPDATE: Seems this was a bit of a miscommunication. Target is still selling HD-DVD after all.

I was wondering what format I should buy. i have neither format at this time since my husband and I were unsure as to which way the market was going. If target is slowing down thier sales of the HDTV and blockbuster is only using the BLUERAY format, it makes little sense to purchase the HDTV. Please if anyone has any further information we would love to see it posted.

I am surprised that Target would make such a stupid move. I guess they have lost their magic touch..Lucky Walmart..they are gaining on target

Blue Ray sucks !!!!!!!! I own both players- HD DVD on a 1080p hd set is FAR FAR better and has no pixelation as found in BADRAY disks. Next time you see a BADRAY player playing on a store system- look at the pixelation- dots everywhere- you can see them. HD DVD is the winner hands down.

LOL@ matt! I don't know if Walmart is for retards but it does suck compared to Target, imo.
It's obvious that HD-DVD players aren't selling in the Target stores so they're just not selling them in the stores. I don't think they're picking a side like Blockbusters because their still offering hd-dvd disc and their still selling the players on the Target websites. So hd-dvd fans just chill out.

Scottie. Betamax was a far superior format to VHS. Didn't win the war, tho.

"you will no longer be able to buy HD-DVD players at Target retail locations."
This is wrong. They never had any stand alones for either format inside their stores. They have only carried them online. Sony is now paying for an endcap to have one Blu-ray player be sold. They still sell sell the 360 addon which they always have in stores.
