If you ever wanted official notice that HD-DVD is dead as a doorknob, here’s your wake-up call:
Netflix announced it won’t be renting HD-DVDs.
Best Buy won’t be selling HD-DVD players.
Toshiba is going to kill off its HD-DVD players entirely.
And the big one..
After June, Wal-Mart won’t sell HD-DVD movies or players.
Like it or not, when Wal-Mart gives certain tech the axe, that means general consumers won’t have it available to them whatsoever and therefore will be completely ignored.
Blu-Ray wins.
If you have an HD-DVD player or any HD-DVD movies, I’d suggest selling all of it now.

At least some companies were smart and supported both or neither.
I’m sticking to my standard DVD player until the dust settles and the prices come down.
It’s too bad. HD-DVD was cheaper and just as good, if not better. Hopefully Blu-Ray stuff will become more affordable very soon.
