Walmart pushing blu-ray


I'm watching the NFL on Fox and there have been a number of Walmart commercials solely pushing blu-ray players. Walmarts considerable weight behind the format is certainly good news for the future of the format.

Agree. Just a matter of time before they come down further in price. I believe people DO want the enhanced picture quality driving their big TV's. Circuit City had an ad for a Phillips Blue Ray for $399 in todays insert. I'm holding out for an Oppo Blue Ray offering; one that will up-convert red-book DVD's as well. That's when I'll pull the trigger. The phone companies and cable companies still don't have their $#@& together, so it will be years before streaming movies in HD fully evolves. I refuse to replace my existing red-book DVD library ( 550+ movies ). Guess I'm too cheap. Hope the BR movie prices fall as well. If they don't, the format may join the El-cassette club.
