Rumor: Currys dropping HD DVD

From PSLegion:

"Now take this with a grain of salt but 'Home Cinema Choice' is reporting that Curry's, who also own PC World and Dixons are dropping HD DVD. Now forget Woolworths, if this turns out to be true, its probably the biggest blow to face HD DVD since the Warner announcement. Currys are probably the biggest electronics retailer in the UK. Having a quick peek at their site, and you will find that Currys online and Dixons do not have any HD DVD players for sale. No doubt we will hear an announcement in the next few days. Its never been a better time to go Blu!"

hahaha are you f'in kidding me. were you here when it was mgs4 to 360 rumors every other day. Remember they were so frequent it was pretty much confirmed in every ones minds. At some point there were pretty much rumors for every single ps3 exclusive jumping ship on a daily basis. Playstation fans were vastly outnumbered on this site when the mart stood firm with like 10 bubbles while he spewed ps3 crap everyday and anyone who came up in ps3's defense lost bubbles before they could blink.

2.3 - Cooke that is not true

When Paramount went HD DVD exclusive all you saw on this site were articles and news posts about it for a good four days. So yeah, this site is indeed ran by fan bases. However, don't sit here and try to make like it's one sided. Because it's not

Yep, basically anything against HD DVD gets posted here. Very seldom do you see negative BD articles on here...but thats expected..it use to be a Sony fansite before going neutral so to speak.

Thanks who ever popped my bubble.
You could at least post a reply.

Well, in fact there were tons of anti-blu-ray articles when Paramount swiched side. You don't see any now simply because there aren't any.

Could be because Blu-ray is dominating, not meant to be offensive. If Blu-ray is dominating what negative news can occur? Obviously once HD-DVD concedes the only news you will be seeing regarding the HD format is movie releases. IMHO Toshiba is doing this to themselves, I think its them you want toreally blame. I would agree with your post if the war were split 50/50, but it is not.

They are all the same company so.

Also Dixons = Currys digital now, and if PC world drops HD DVD that means no HD DVD laptops/PC's either. And PC World makes up for a very large majority of Computer sales here in the UK and that will be a massive blow
