GTA Queen Video now carries Blu-Ray & HD-DVD titles

I was a bit shocked to see a ~dozen HD titles in my local DVD rental store. They tell me there is almost no interest....

Nice, where?

Queen video has a half dozen outlets... I checked the Queen/Spadina shop and saw the HD disks.

Thanks...

I was wondering whether the Streetsville(Mississauga) store would. But I stopped in and they don't.

From the rental action, one 2' shelf above normal view... that everyone is taking a wait & see response to HD disks.. and that means that nothing will happen this Christmas. Rental stores make up a huge amount of the disk purchases and they don't buy until the consumer requests it... and we don't rent them unless we have a player and video to match.

I love the HD broadcasts.. now I'm just trying to figure out how to grab the signal to my PC drive and forget about DRM disks. it looks like certain versions of OTA tuners offer firewire output (and or mods to get firewire output).
