Sony l BDP-S350 at Wal-Mart Today?

[jibucha]

Hello

While I cannot confirm this as having actually seen it on the shelves, I was at Wal-Mart yesterday afternoon in Mt. Prospect, Illinois, and they indicated that they have already sold three of the Sony BDP-S350 this week. I was informed that they received them several days ago and already sold out of the units received.

Has anyone else come across availability of this interesting player?

I have been expecting the Panasonic l BMP-BD50 for some time, so this availability of the Sony l BDP-S350 comes as a complete surprise.

I intend to go to both Best Buy and Circuit City today if I can, to see if they too have it available, or at the very least confirm availability generally.

If this is indeed available, this is an interesting development. Certainly, the Blu-ray Sales will pick up with the availability of both the Panasonic and Sony BD Live Players; it seems that many are awaiting availability of complete designs.

Any thoughts or knowledge in this regard anyone?

Thank You
