As does NetFlix and Best Buy "recomands' BluRay

I think the WalMart part is funny after they backed HD-DVD first.

There are some people that are still saying HD-DVD has a chance but I really don't understand where they are coming from.
Personally I won't be buying any player for a couple years. I'll let the prices come down while the technology goes up. Just like the DVD players. My dad bought one right when they first came out, he spent a ton and by today's standards it sucked. But it did come with divix which they thought was going to take off.

Yeah I got an email at work a little while ago saying best buy now 'recommends' blu-ray as the digital format of choice. Im sure HD is done.

Without a doubt, I'm just happy it's over. The thought of a dual format future was stupid and I'm glad there's only one left.

yah I kinda am too although I have an HD player.. I dont really care, my movies still play, and I use it for my regular upconvert anyway, so when I want to get hi-def movies Ill just get a blue ray player when they drop. Not a huge deal.

From what I heard Toshiba will be making an annoucement next week that HD DVD is deaded.

Too bad. Now Sony can keep their Blu Ray players overpriced, like most other Sony products.

Sony's new firmwire update is about to screw many people over........I don't care who wins but Sony loves to screw people over.

Same basic feelings here but I do want Blu Ray to win because it is a better format. I just hate Sony so much. They are such idiots.
