Samsung is pushing Circuit City. They are having a big sweepstakes
for a 40" HDTV and a BluTurd player. The BluTurd disc display is on
it's own cart right up in front of the store, but the HD titles are
back on their own shelf in the DVD section.
They are closer than Fry's to me so I buy there, then get them to
pay back the difference, which they happily do.
I want the HDTV, and I'll likely sell the BluTurd player if I win.
Samsung lied on them anyway. All published specs refer to having two
HDMI outputs, but they only have one. What else did they lie about?
I'd sell it and then get a combo player at some point.
