I would think Kirsty is correct. I highly doubt it's like what Nintendo pulled in the early 90s with the "try taking a risk by selling our product and we'll buy back what doesn't sell at 100%." Even if the retailers didn't purchase the products outright, they are going to be taking an inevitable operations loss on anything and everything HD-DVD at this point. You can bet that 98% of the time it takes for HD-DVD to completely kill over will be due to everyone trying to save face and money.

You might want to ask an Insider for an official answer.
