Perhaps they are seeing therapists
Oddly I saw all the BD demos at Best Buy where I was there looking for the A2 to check it out.
Oddly there were no A2s there for demo or sale. So... zero HD DVD players. This is December... and no players to be even seen let alone had.
On the other hand there was a Sony (nice demo!), a Samsung (reduced price), and in Magnolia section a Panasonic and Pioneer. Signs of choice.
If you are looking in B&M stores, BD is everywhere, HD DVD is hard to find at best (hardware at least).
I will be at CES and look forward to the BDA booth for fresh news. We are getting to the point where they will be holding back news for CES...
