My Walmart and Target carry about 8 titles. Definitely more "Blu " titles, which is disappointing.

Some around me do, some dont. The ones that do offer a small selection on both formats.

The closest Wal-Mart to me has HD and BD. They don't have a large selection and the prices are a bit high, but they do get the new releases out on Tuesdays.

I was just at Walmart today and they just a small handful of HD-DVD's and Bluray Discs. Not only that, but they were mixed in with standard DVD's, so they'll probably get some returns from people who thought they were SD-DVD's.

Mine (Near Wash DC) has a lot of HD DVD's. It's HD DVD selection is almost twice as big as the Blu Ray selection.

I did find it funny that there was a large made up sign that stated "HD DVD's won't play in a regular DVD Player"

My Wal-Mart (Amherst, NY) has but 1 HD film...X-3 in the PS3 games case. Doesn't look like it sold too many copies though...always looks full.

My Wal Mart has 1 row of HD DVD's and sadly with the exception of new release Paramount titles the rest of the selection is at least 6 months older. Then theres the 4 shelves of BD that include all the new released movies.

My Wal-Mart has both, and I think the store has sold a combined 10 movies from either format judging from the amount of dust gathered in that section. I don't think many people in my town even know what either format is, so it will be interesting to see what the store does with its idle inventory.

There is a thread someone started wanting everyone to list which of their walmarts carry HD-DVD's....should come up in a search. Here is another thread discussing the same topic of why or if Walmarts carrying HD-DVD

All 3 Walmarts(Western MA.) within 5 miles of where i live have at average, about 16-20 HD DVD's in stock/for sale at any given time.With their recent commitment to HD DVD i'd expect that to expand somewhat in the 2nd half of the year.

Nope none yet. Athough they got night at the museumon BD. May have been a mistake as it was put in the ps3 case and is the only BD movie. Got 8 of them

I wish they had HDDVDs as BB is to high but are the only ones that carry anything new...

I live outside of Philly area. All of the city Walmarts carry both hd formats. But the 3 subburb Walmarts that I have been too Bristol,Fairless Hills,Bensalem all don't carry em. I do agree it suxs that most of us have to go to Bestbuy to get hd movies. I like the fact that Walmart is open late cause I work alot of hours and it would be nice to go there at 10 or 11 at night to grab a hd movie. But the good news is they are in em and will come to all Walmarts soon :D

The one I checked had both HD-DVD and blu-ray...together at the bottom of the PS3 games case, all locked up. Yep, they'll be selling plenty at that store... :rolleyes:
