Blu-ray disc have won the Battle
The last 3-6 Month Blu-ray has been the leader with a few percent points, but nothing was sure, but Now Wal Mart stops selling HD-DVD discs thats a big step.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc has decided to exclusively sell high-definition DVDs in the Blu-Ray format, dealing what could be a crippling blow to the rival HD DVD technology backed by Toshiba Corp (6502.T).
The move by the world’s largest retailer, announced on Friday, caps a disappointing week for HD DVD supporters, who also saw consumer electronics chain Best Buy Co Inc and online video rental company Netflix Inc defect to the Blu-ray camp.
“We’ve listened to our customers, who are showing a clear preference toward Blu-ray products and movies with their purchases,” said Gary Severson, a Wal-Mart senior vice president.
I will say thats it for HD-DVD, sorry but we all saw this coming.

yes they are out, but you can still get the movies, but I would wait a little then they will have a big discount on them.
If you want to buy a Blu ray player then go for new Denon or the NEW sony which comes soon i think its 550
