The high definition format war took an unexpected twist Sunday morning, when a group of thieves broke into a video store. What they took — every Blu-ray movie in stock — isn’t as interesting as what they left behind. The gang ignored the HD DVD selection entirely, apparently deciding that only the BDA’s baby was worth a five finger discount. Blockbuster choosing Blu-ray for its nationwide rollout is one thing, but being ignored when the price of acquisition is the low low price of free is a reality check for any fledgling standard. We suppose such early morning escapades are one way to build your library after getting the now lower-priced PS3, but it’s not recommended. No word yet on if HD DVD fans are planning a coordinated group theft to reestablish the popularity of their chosen format.
