I work at a Sears, too. I've seen the previews as well.
Speaking of Sears, just curious: Have any of you ever seen the Sony BDP-S300 at any Sears store in the US and Canada??
Our Sears (in upstate NY) has NEVER gotten the S300 in. Sure, they have had the S1 for eons, but not the S300. The S300 is on sears.com, though.
I got my S300 at BB's only three weeks after it's US debut.
