HD War

Currys

Now take this with a grain of salt but 'Home Cinema Choice' is reporting that Curry's, who are owned by DSG, and also own Dixons, PC World, Electro World (Czech, Hungary & Poland), PC City (France) 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 the leading 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!
