The UK retailer, Woolworths, has reportedly dropped HD DVD from their stores.
According to The
Retail Bulletin, the decision was primarily due to Blu-ray outselling HD DVD by a 10-to-1 margin during the holiday
season.
Woolworths has become the first major retailer to solely back one of the new high definition DVD formats.
The high street firm has announced that it will only stock Blu-Ray high definition DVDs from March, with HD-DVDs being dropped
from stores to be sold online.
The move comes after Blu-Ray DVDs outsold HD-DVDs by ten-to-one in Woolies stores over Christmas.
From March Woolworths stores will have a Blu-Ray DVD chart in all 820 stores and a Blu-Ray DVD back catalogue section in larger stores.
Take note that Woolworths has not dropped HD DVD altogether, as the company will continue to sell HD DVD titles online.
