It’s becoming increasingly difficult to think positive about HD-DVD, because yet another retailer has gone Blu-ray only, that retailer being BJ’s Wholesale Club. Just the other day, Target announced they would be Blu-ray-only, and all of this comes just a month after Blockbuster made the same decision. HD-DVD is going to have to perform a miracle it seems to keep in the race.
Another blow to HD DVD came today as BJ’s Wholesale Club will bounce the format from its shelves in the fourth quarter according to VB, a Variety company. Just like yesterday’s news about Target going with Blu-ray players, if Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club went Blu-ray it’d be a much bigger deal, but BJ’s is a large company on the East Coast (particularly the North East). BJ’s will continue to sell HD DVD format products on their website.
