A retailer like best buy denouncing HDDVD is basically slapping M$ in the face which is where a great deal of product/revenue comes from. PC OS's, 360's!!! These high end products get consumers in the doors. So the decision isn't just about shelf space keep in mind!!

Understandable, but if enough retailers start to sway this direction, what is Microsoft going to do? Pull their product from all the stores? I don't think that is going to help them out very much. Microsoft doesn't CARE about HD-DVD anymore, they have made that very clear.

...and, if it weren't for politics, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with, you can thank Mr. Gates for that.
