From yahoo.com:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) has decided to exclusively sell high-definition DVDs in the Blu-Ray format, dealing what could be a crippling blow to the rival HD DVD technology backed by Toshiba Corp (6502.T).
The move by the world’s largest retailer, announced on Friday, caps a disappointing week for HD DVD supporters, who also saw consumer electronics chain Best Buy Co Inc (BBY.N) and online video rental company Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) defect to the Blu-ray camp.
Yep, I sure am glad I bought that $98 HD-DVD player from Wal-Mart just a few months ago… ugh. Someone point me in the direction of the $5 blow-out HD-DVD sales when they show up, please. I don’t want this thing to turn into a $98 paperweight.
