Blockbuster Chooses Blu-ray 351
s31523 writes "The format war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray has posted another battle, this time the victor seems to be the Blu-ray side. Blockbuster has announced it has chosen Blu-ray as the HD format to rent out in the majority of its stores. This decision comes after rental data was looked at for the 250 stores that carry both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray with the majority of rentals being Blu-Ray. Blockbuster now plans to stock Blu-ray only in 1450 of it's stores, but says the 250 stores with the HD-DVD movies will be kept on the shelf."

What sort of shelf can fit 250 retail stores, exactly?

That would get expensive, having to put both a BR and HD version of the same movie in the player
and only getting a single one back.
I suggest Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, that way you can put both movies in the duel player and
chant "TWO DISKS ENTER, ONE DISK LEAVES!".
