The Blu Ray vs HD DVD battle may end very soon, with Blu Ray emerging as the winner. Sony can finally breath easy as their gamble of including a Blu Ray drive with the PS3 paid off. Gamers world over were flaming the PS3 for including the Blu Ray drive as it lead to a more expensive price tag, Sony on the other hand were firm in promoting the PS3 as a gaming+multimedia console, which is still the most affordable Blu Ray player in the world. The latest feather in Sony’s cap is Wal-Mart who will completely stop selling HD DVD’s in a couple of months, this is what hey had to say: 

“We’ve listened to our customers, who are showing a clear preference toward Blu-ray products and movies with their purchases,” said Gary Severson, senior vice president, Home Entertainment, Wal-Mart, U.S.  “With the customers best interest in all we do, we wanted to share our decision and timeline with them as soon as possible, knowing it will help simplify their purchase decision, increase selection, and increase adoption long term.  We anticipate enhancing our selection with continued great values in hi-definition Blu-ray products, so our customers can further enhance their entertainment experience at home.”   Whatever the reason we as consumes should be happy that the digital media war may soon be over and we can start buying some cheap Blu Rays.
