According to Wal-Mart execs, the company will begin emphasizing Blu-ray in both brick-and-mortar stores and online over the next thirty days, with plans to completely phase out HD DVD movie and hardware sales by June 2008. The company will continue to sell DVDs and standard-definition hardware.

Goodbye HD-DVD.

Joystiq: "Wal-Mart stated that 'in less than 30 days' customers will see the alpha-dog of retailers go predominantly Blu-ray."

Early summer nothing. Try spring.
