saw the movies in Walmart today. Sure looks tempting. But no streaming of HD files from computer makes it seem to me like the ethernet is worthless on it. The 360 with HD DVD would probably be superior. I bet the remote works a ton better too. But then theres the HDMI issue with 360. Why cant anyone get it right????
I havent seen HD DVD at any of the Walmarts near me. Best Buy had a nice display, but the movies are just too expensive there (most were $30).

How was that picture quality vurbano? Better then a pizza pan dish, c-band or OTA? Go ahead admit it, you can say it. It looked real good didn't it? Best you've ever seen.vurbano said:
I have yet to see a HDTV at a walmart look great. Some look good, most ok at best. They split the siginal and use the worst cables in the world.
They only had movies 19-25 dollars, no playersteamerickson said:How was that picture quality vurbano? Better then a pizza pan dish, c-band or OTA? Go ahead admit it, you can say it. It looked real good didn't it? Best you've ever seen.
S%^&. I got excited when it looked like they chose HD DVD to succeed. If they've added BluRay then they aren't sure either.....
Wal-Mart is doing away with Layaway.
Our local Wal-Marts will stop doing this on Dec 31.
Demographics of this area is the reason I guess that the local Super Wally doesn't have any HD-Dvd players or discs... in fact as far as I know there is one place ( furniture store) that has a Blu-ray here and Hastings ( a movie rental place) has HD-Dvds for sale but no players
You guys are so lucky! I ask when are they going to start to sell them. The way the people look at me you would think i just called them a Bitch. Then they say we sell dvd's right over there.
heres the deal on that according to a regional media manager for wal mart, in early feb. they do whats called a reset, to see what is selling at their trial stores, she said by middle to late feb you will see lots of HD DVD and Blu ray in the stores, so we will see where they are going in Feb.
I asked at our local Walmart about HD DVD, and they guy said "HD DVD - we don't even carry Blu-Ray yet!" HAHAHA
jgantert, that might not be true for all Walmarts. I have been buying BluRay from my local Walmart for the last three months. And they cary HD-DVD too. They do not have a specific section like Target, BestBuy or Circuit City but they have them. And they get in new releases. I guess if the location sells them they get them, if they don't they do not receive them. You should ask store management if any Walmarts in your area carries HD-DVD/BLURAY, I am willing to bet if you have more than one of them one will.
