You know what, my local FRY's is still promoting HD-DVD. They put HD-DVDs on a big stand near entrance, playing planet earth on a xbox360 addons. They are still give HDDVD same shelf spaces as BD. Last time I were there to pick up kung fu panda BD, I saw an employee there at HD-DVD stands, trying to persuade a customer to purchase HD-DVD.

Best Buy never ceases to amaze me in their stupidity.... I went a few days looking for an inexpensive bw laser printer.. I knew what I wanted going in.. the sales guy asked me what i was looking for and he pointed me to the row of inkjet printers.. I told him i was looking for a laser printer and he decided that a conversation with another employee was more important. anyways they wanted $159.95 for this printer. needless to say I ordered it on amazon.com for $99.95 with free shipping.
I tell you what though OPPO needs to start making and selling printers... at least they would probably include a USB cable and a full toner instead of a starter toner.

Wow. Time to take another happy pill, dude. Threatening to tell mommy was uncalled for. How would you like someone to rip on you because you can't write properly (see corrections above in {}).

Exactly... Who really cares. They are going to go to best buy and say they want hd dvd and the retailer will point them to blu-ray. It's no big deal. The war is over, get off the defensive people.....
