Greetings,

Thank you for taking the time to write and for your interest in BLOCKBUSTER Canada. We are always looking for ways to expand our products and services in all our communities across Canada.

At the present time, BLU RAY and HD DVD formats are available for rental in 75 select "test stores" in Canada. While we do not have a time-line, we do hope to roll these out nationally this year if consumer acceptance continues to grow.

Here is an e-mail from Target USA. They don't carry HD DVD players, but they stock HD DVD movies LOL, that is insane if you ask me. I am curious to see what they will do when the $199 HD DVD players come out
