That worker will see that person walk out of the store nice and fast. They just lost 150.00

Interesting perspective. Let me get this straight. A customer is willing to spend a few thousand on an HD TV. A few thousand on speakers and a receiver, but will quicky walk out the store when they see the price of a blu-ray player? Again the DUD player price argument surfaces as the only viable means of winning the war.
