Want to get a cheaper year of Xbox Live? Here’s your chance. Walmart is peddling a 13 month card for $29.99 right now. This is an online deal only and not in store.
Shipping is $0.97, but you can have it shipped to your local Walmart for free (it may take 2 weeks, though). Either way, it’s cheaper than the $50 most places charge.
Even if you’re not close to paying for Live again, it might not be a bad idea to snag one of these and save some money in the long run.
Toshiba’s HD-DVD format is backed way into the corner and getting the piss beat out of it. The referee is mere seconds away from jumping in and stopping the fight. How did this all happen? Wal-Mart today announced they will stop selling all HD-DVD players and discs by June of this year. Ouch. Here’s what Susan Chronister of Wal-Mart had to say on the company’s blog:
So… if you bought the HD player like me, I’d retire it to the bedroom, kid’s playroom, or give it to your parents to play their John Wayne standard def movies, and make space for a BD player for your awesome Hi Def experience.
Sick burn. I guess it all started with the Warner announcement earlier this year, followed by the quick one-two combo of Netflix and Best Buy turning to BluRay. Now almart has made the switch, which looks to be the final nail in the coffin of HD-DVD. Seriously, if Wal-Mart stops stops selling your format, just call it quits.
