If you wanted an HDDVD player you had to ask for one, and hope you saw it hiding in top stock. If you didn't see it...he'd probably point to the empty shelf and say...ahh sorry out of stock. Have you heard about Blu-ray?

Maybe this is why HDDVD folks used to think their stuff was selling, maybe alot of stores were doing this....

I work the trucks and for weeks I did not see any hddvd players, but a ton of Sony and Sharp players.
