"The Blockbuster "deal" was the result of executives at Blockbuster looking at both formats and seeing twice as many sales and rentals for Blu-ray and making a decision about shelf space."

Yes, and Paramount chose HD DVD because the spec was in a more finished state and it was easier to develop for. At least that's what the press release says. ;-)

"The Target thing is about an agreement where Sony puts in kiosks at its own expense so customers will be able to try out the system."

So...Target got paid? Sounds about right to me.

Relax, this is plain ole marketing.
