bby yeah, its a big pain in the ass, management isnt happy about it.

bro dont you feel bad selling those to people.

bby no, mgt. has told us to sell them as upconvert players, that way people wont return them, plus they get free movies which helps clear the shelf.

bro well arent they going to realize that its more than an upconvert when you tell them to pick out there free hd dvds.

bby idk, i havnt sold one yet, but if they do, so what? ill tell them its cheaper than a lot of upconverters and a better upconverter, plus it plays hd dvd. if they wanna come back and help us get rid of our movies faster thats cool with us. one day they will come back and see no hd dvds on the shelf, they cant really get mad at us because they didnt want an hd player to begin with. plus, by the time we can get rid of the software they wont be able to dump the player back on us.

Tell your brother not to bust retail employees' balls. They don't need that, they're probably not raking in enough dough to take garbage like that.
