Kmart Drops Blu-Ray Players

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the priced-out-of-the-competition dept.

Lord Byron II writes "K-mart has decided to stop selling Blu-Ray players in their stores, primarily because of the high cost of Blu-Ray compared to HD-DVD (now under $200). They will continue to sell the PS3 for the time being. Will lower prices speed the adoption of HD-DVD in the upcoming holiday shopping season?"

      Parent here. I just wanted to apologize for posting this excerpt from my newest work of fiction. I realize nobody here wants to see my pathetic attempts at writing, and I can't believe I resorted to trolling in order to have it seen. I'm about to go and have a good, long think about my life, and how it managed to reach this tremendous low point. Sorry again, guys.

    One of these things is just like the others.
    All of these things plainly belong.
    Can you tell what point that I am making,
    by the time I finish my song?

    Three of these things belong together
    Three of these things are kind of the same
    Can you guess what point I am making?
    Now it's time to play our game
