I think you're the one that sounds desperate by accusing him of being desperate by merely posting what was going on at his local store. He never said bluray was dying because his local store was significantly dropping bluray titles. he clearly states that a salesperson at his local meijers significantly dropped bluray titles and would drop hidef discs altogether if sales didn't pick up.

And I had to repost this thread because the other one magically disappeared. So there are not two threads on this, only one.


And if you look around AVS, you will see their are literally hundreds of threads discussing the availability (or lack of availability) of discs at local retailers. So if mods want to delete this one, it's only fair they delete (not just close) another 100 or so threads from this forum. I will be happy to start pointing out all the ones they've overlooked.


Locking a thread is managing a forum. Deleting a thread is just censorship.

well, my Meijer has never carried either BD or HD-DVD.


... and for what it's worth the Wal-Mart on one side of town has a dozen or so titles of each, and the one on the other side of town has none at all.

Yep, both HD optical formats appear to be selling poorly there, but this was posted in the Blu-ray Software forum because it was the format that had shelf spaced reduced, which I think makes it a BD software topic.

not surprising. the walmart in my area used to carry some bd and hd, now they only carry 2 bd disks and its locked away in the case with the ps3 games. and the last couple times i went there, it doesnt seem like theyve sold any

It's hard to make any sound judgments one way or the other based on one or two local stores.

my miejer never carried Bluray only HD-DVD but lately I found only a couple HD-DVD titles

Meijers is based locally...and none of the 14 stores have a big supply of either format.

This is first and foremost a grocery chain...not a retail electronics store.


The closet one has not gotten any new discs in months....sold most of the BD's leaving about 2 dozen hd dvd's that haven't sold.


This store has them filed at the very bottom shelf hiding under pc software...and they look to be giving up on both formats...but thats to be expected at a store that most frequent for groceries.
