We have been told that Target is in the process of unifying their Blu-ray displays in all stores. Some newer stores have had these displays, and whole isles dedicated to Blu-ray movies for a few months. Older stores just had a small Blu-ray section that was taking up the same small space it once shared with HD DVD movies.
Have the Target stores in your area been updated to the new displays/expanded Blu-ray movie sections?
We are encouraged to see retailers expanding their Blu-ray sections, and we really hope the trend continues.

I was at a Target near my place and they have one side of an aisle dedicated to Blu. Huge improvement on selections. Prices are still a bit high with the majority being $24.99 & $29.99; normal B&M prices. I hope they lower the prices soon as I do most of my shopping on Target.
That looks really cool…..i just hope the prices can go down to 19.99…Im tellin ya… 250 dollar players with 19.99 movies and IM IN!
Today I noticed the new display at the Target near me, looks just like the picture in the article, with a display on the end running a video about blu-ray. They really expanded the selection, at least 3X what they had in various spots around the store before the new dedicated isle.
Most prices are way higher than Amazon, but a few were good, picked up Terminator 2 for $15.
