I noticed this the first time I started looking for HD-DVD there, that is, when I bought the player.
From Browse, you can click "Collections" then HD-DVD. Yes, Blu-Ray has its own category while HD-DVD does not. Minor inconvenience IMO.
When they drop HD-DVD altogether is when I go back to Netflix. At the moment though, am having too much fun with the in-store exchange, even if it is SD only.
As far as B&M stores go, the Target and Wallyworld by me don't have either (last I checked), and Best buy has both euqally at full MSRP.
I still end up buying on Amazon.

I'm sure there are some out there, just not local to me. BD is in most every Blockstore store and the selection varies dependent on the location.
Netflix has been working well for my friend. Some titles have a long wait but really those are few and far between. It probably is the same for HD DVD.
You have both formats so what has been your experience?
I have a Hollywood Video "library store" near my house; one of a handful in the country. They carry HD DVD and B-D equally. The #1 video rental place in town doesn't do any sort of high-def at this time. Blockbuster stores are much smaller and out-of-the-way, and to date I haven't seen any high-def offerings there.
I don't rent. Gave it up years ago. most that I've talked to like netflix. As for guying, I usually stick with Amazon-best overall service, selection and prices, but others have sales periodically.

Blockbuster: Apparently only one store in the Denver metro area carries any kind of high-def, and the location isn't handy for me. There's only one store that is pretty close to where I frequent, and they couldn't tell me when they'd have anything high-def available, only that they expected to eventually have Blu-Ray.
Total amount spent at Blockbuster in the past 24 months: $0
Target: The store nearest me *has* moved the plastic divider over a notch, reducing HD DVD to two columns and expanding Blu-Ray to 4. However, stock and selection in either format remains poor.
Total amount spent on high-def at Target to date: $0
Circuit City: More or less format-agnostic, they also have one of the better in-store selections of B-D and HD DVD movies, and stock seems to be replenished regularly (Yes!! Someone brought in "Hot Fuzz"!)
Total amount spent on high-def at Circuit City to date: ~$200
Our local store has prominent displays of both HD and BD players. There is at least one and usually two BD players playing all the time on HD sets. But they carry maybe one or two HD titles along with 100's of ordinary DVDs. It hardly encourages anyone to buy a player, even with the free discs. Those title wouldn't tempt me in the least.

The good folks at deepdiscount.com offer solid price reductions on HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs, and shipping is always free. We've purchased at least 150 regular DVDs from them over the last four years or so and have always received flawless service.
