I was speaking in generalities. You're an exception. Wal-Mart is not
known for their electronics department. For a reason. It's just
something they have because they try to have everything. It's not
something they focus on, and it's not where most people with money shop
for electronics. That is, unless they're wanting to grab underwear,
deodorant, a quart of oil, and a gallon of milk at the same time.

Now if Best Buy went HD-DVD only, it might make an impact. Of course,
that's not going to happen.
