So far, Target and Blockbuster have been really lame

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

What's going on with Costco? - jsm 12:51:24 09/17/07 (0)
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.
CC is way overpriced. Do you have Fry's in Denver? What about Best Buy? NT - Jazz Inmate 21:24:45 09/15/07 (1)
