Rogers Video chain in Canada pulls HD DVDs today

So fellow Canadians, there will be a fire sale soon. The guy told me they'd be pricing them $9.99 (same as their older used standard DVDs). They were just pulled off the shelves today, so they have them waiting in a box for pricing, and for the ones that are rented out yesterday to come back.

It's kinda sad in a way, since it was at least a rental option that existed until today even though HD DVD lost the war. The guy there said he found it funny, cause they were still being rented. But they have to follow directions from head office. At least zip.ca still has about 350 titles or so available for rent.

There goes another one.

Soon, we can say "And then there were none".

Still can't say blu-ray-fanboy faster...

Whatever, I think that some people just can't handle the fact that soon there will be a day when the only place you can find HD-DVD stuff is on eBay or the flea market. Right next to the old lady doilies and 8-track tapes.

Seriously, Jono! Why the hell are you here? You just troll through message threads so that you can bring your holier-than-thou attitude to anyone who even mentions HD DVD. Did anyone say HD wasn't dead? Has anyone claimed that Blu lost? Grow up. The thread was started so that those who are interested in picking up a few titles before they go away can do so. How does that impact you? I have yet to see one post from you that said anything interesting, relevant, or discussion-worthy.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, Sky. Did they give you any indication as to when they might be putting them out? Tuesday, perhaps.

Odd... how Tim Raynor can say basically the same thing. "boo-hoo" picture above and no one says a word.

O well. I guess I will troll on!

Tim has established himself as a loveable jerk, who sometimes just trolls for places to post funny pictures, but who also sometimes posts insightful and relevant information. You have yet to do that. Ever. And, though you might have missed it, Sky refered to being "sad", therefore the pic was a funny addition to his post.

Hey, we all like Tim's pix!!!

Dude, "Jono", you sound something Diablo Cody would write...

I don't get why people still come here to troll when the war is already over... You have to move on Jono.
