While really another "little" announcement, they are starting to add up.

HD DVD Group responds to Woolies Blu-ray only stance news

Ok WTF is a Woolworths in comparison to a US retailer? I am asking just to get a clearer picture of what it really means.

Not very big. I actually thought we had Woolworths here, but maybe its a different one. This is probably about as exciting that FYE is not selling HDDVD software anymore in stores or whatever.

Like I said, its small. But enough small ones begin to add up.

I remember when most towns around here had a Woolworths and a Grants. Those days are long gone.

Thanks

You have to remember I live in a small area, hell are FYE closed up shop here a few years ago. To get any CD's I need to order them or purchase Walmarts Censored crap.


But yes I can agree that little ones can add up.

In the USA not a big deal but in the UK -- that is another matter. Expect to see more stores like Circuit City clear out HD-DVD players. Maybe the retailers will finally decide this one.
