About: Although a Seattle native, Tyler doesn't t fit that stereo type very well. He prefers Red Bull to Lattes, doesn't own a pair of birkenstocks, and has never hugged a tree in his life. As a life long Geek, he is pretty much addicted to anything that has to do with technology. He became hooked on HDTV in early '04, and hasn't looked back since. At his day job in the aerospace industry, he is never too far away from the latest news thanks to Google Reader on his iPhone. Tyler's vision for Format War Central is to provide a very diverse range of opinions, which he thinks really engages the readers and promotes vibrant discussions.See Authors Posts (237)

We had heard WalMart had some new spiffy HD DVD/Blu-ray displays, so we took a Sunday drive to our local WalMart Supercenter to see for ourselves. We were pleasantly surprised that both HD DVD and Blu-ray were given equal space, since we believe the consumer should choose the winner in this format war. The new in store display was drawing a lot of attention, which is a good sign for both formats.

Where was that exactly?
It was at Marysville, WA Wal-Mart
No luck here yet. I’m in Tallahassee, FL. Maybe that has something do with it.
