Target will not be "Blu-Ray only" according to the same article you linked:

"We are not proclaiming one format vs. the other as the preferred consumer technology, and software will continue to be available to our guests in both the Blu-ray and HD DVD format," Target spokeswoman Brie Heath said.

The only standalone HiDef player Target will sell  at stores will be Blu-Ray, though:

"Target does not sell high-def DVD players in its stores, although it does sell a Toshiba HD DVD player for $299 on its Web site.

Target stores do sell an HD DVD add-on for the Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Xbox 360. They also sell Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3, which comes with a Blu-ray player built in."

Some titles will be offered in both format on the same disk called Total HD. So, technically, it's no. Even if they don't carry true HD DVD.

But if you read between the lines. It's not good news for HD DVD.

How do you feel if your have a product at a store that will not promote it?

I'll change the title. :)
