Maybe if walmart stopped carrying blu ray players it might have more of an impact.

No, but when a major retailer does something like this because they feel blu-ray is too expensive then it can't be a good thing for blu-ray.
This thread was started with the announcement that Blockbuster wasn't going to carry HD-DVD movies. That turned out not to be true.
And Walmart is selling some HD-DVD players for less than $100. There has been a lot of press about HD-DVD lately, what with Paramount and Dreamworks going HD-DVD exclusive, sub $100 HD-DVD deals, K-mart not stocking Blu-ray. There hasn't been much positive Blu-ray news lately. I while people buying a PS3 are definitely using them as blu-ray players, I'm not sure how many people going out and looking for a high-def player are considering a PS3. That's something Sony should leverage more in their advertising.
I don't own either format (yet). I'm just watching what is going on.
