Walmart is finally getting into the HD DVD firesale action. Word at the AVS Forum, and confirmed by a few people who’ve bothered to check, is that Warner HD DVD titles are on a 2 for $10 sale at Walmart stores in Canada. This is great news for those of you living in Canada, or some of you who live near enough to make a quick trip.

If you happen to be over in or dropping by Canada, you might also want to check over at Future Shop stores (related to Best Buy) and see if their 50% off sale on HD DVD discs is of any use to you.

The other 2 for 10 sale is happening in the UK at dvd.co.uk who have a 2 for £10 deal, but on Universal titles. Prices at the site show £6.95, but the discount on buying two is applied at checkout.

Feel free to share about any other sales you might come across. The last few posts have been about sales at Fry’s and other places, and some of those deals are still available.

You’d think that so many months after February when Toshiba pulled the plug on HD DVD, and even after May when the last of the Warner Bros. releases came out, and we’re heading into July when Universal finally puts out movies on Blu-ray, that there would be nothing to talk about in terms of HD DVD.

Nope.

There are still sales on HD DVD discs here and there. The few that I just came across today are located in the US and UK. One US deal is from Borders.com, who have a $9.99 sale on 34 Universal titles. The prices listed range from $16.99 to $24.99, but the discount takes effect during checkout. Best Buy has a similar sale, with some movies selling for $8.39 and others getting closer to $11. It’s not as big of a sale as the one at Borders, but it’s still something.

HD DVD fans in the UK are not left out of the big sales with the £2.99 and £3.99 sale at HMV.com. This is a great deal even if you’re US-based and ok with importing discs, because this amounts to about $6-8 per disc! The selection of titles is just slightly greater than at the Borders sale, and they’ve got many titles for £4.49 (like all the Harry Potters), and many Warner hits. UPDATE: Mark pointed out in the comments that HMV charges £4.25 shipping per disc, so the end result is not as inexpensive as some other retailers who charge for the whole order based on total weight. To that, ‘bigdmelt’ suggests a visit to TheHut.com for better shipping rates on imports.

I know from the emails I get that some of you have already moved along to Blu-ray in some way, by buying a PS3 perhaps. I had thought of doing the same, but I think I’ve subconsciously chosen the most difficult way to do so: I only want the 80GB PS3, like the one from the recent Metal Gear Solid bundle. And this happens to be the configuration that’s always out of stock everywhere, including Sony’s own online store. But I’m not too stressed out over it. I still have a lot of HD DVD movies coming my way via Netflix as well as movies I bought but still haven’t opened up. I also enjoy watching this summer’s big hits with the family at a theater, and that further removes some of the urgency to get all caught up on my home theater viewing. Maybe I’ll get more serious about it a little later in the summer…
