Kmart denies the report HD DVD exclusivity

Kmart has responded to the recent reports of dropping Blu-ray from their stores. Initially it was reported that they were dropping Blu-ray due to “high cost”, however Kmart is now stating that those reports are not true.

“There have been numerous statements in the media (Wednesday), attributed to Toshiba, indicating exclusive support for the HD-DVD format in Kmart stores. These statements are false. Kmart intends to support both the HD-DVD and Blu-ray platforms, and has no plans to support either platform exclusively.”

Of course this just means they will have both formats in the store. There are however differing opinions on some devices such as the PS3 (with Blu-ray support) and the Xbox 360 (with its HD DVD player). While both are great gaming systems, a lot of people tend to think of Blu-ray or HD DVD support more along the line of standalone players. I guess with the current state of Blu-ray vs. HD DVD this response from Kmart should not come as any surprise.
