Blockbuster Chooses Blu-ray

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nailing-the-coffin-shut dept.

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."

    Damn, damn, damn. Jew-owned media (Hollywood) from a Jap-owned corporation (Sony). Ralph JewHater Nader was right about the slant-eyed kike.

    Awww, cry those bitter fanboy tears!

    Love it!

    This is awesome. The entire Zonk cocksucker crowd is having a seizure over the death of HD-DVD!

    Gee, where is that fucking miserable little bitch Zonk? Funny how he wasn't around to post the news!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Suck it Dreamcast, Xbox, and Microsoft fanboys. The world is laughing at you once again.

    Just picked up an amazing 1080p set for under 1000 bucks a couple weeks ago and a handful of BluRay movies! Oh yeah it rules to be on the winning side - again!

    LOSERS! God how I love thinking about all of the miserable little 360 fanboys who sat around posting about how 'teh PS3 is expensive' and then rushed out and bought one of those giant ugly 1980s looking HD-DVD addons for 200 bucks on top of the 400 bucks and now have a huge library of garbage from Universal because they thought they were helping out their side in the 'format war'.

    Did I mention we are laughing at you Dreamcast/Xbox/Microsoft/Xbox/HD-DVD fanboys?

    Hundreds of Playstation3s already have BluRay players in homes around the world, and they're only about a half-year old. Fixed...
