Show me one where this is happening... Just one... Surely if "almost
all" is doing this it won't be hard.

Best Buy? Nope. 2 full bays right next to the 2 bays of Blu-Ray discs.
Circuit City? It was much easier to find HD-DVD back in the DVD
section than it was to find the Blu-Ray media. In fact, I didn't see
the Blu-Ray discs until I was leaving the store, sitting on a lone
spinner rack between the registers. Frys? Same setup as Best Buy, 2
bays next to the 2 bays of Blu-Ray.

The brick and mortar stores I've been to either carry both or
neither.

Newegg?

Key words dumbass - "with dates". How many Blu-Ray titles are dated
after June? I'll save you some time, there aren't any. Does that mean
Blu-Ray is dead and there aren't any more movies coming after June?
No, it means they simply haven't been dated yet. For whatever reason
the HD-DVD makers don't date their discs very far in advance. The 100
exclusive titles Universal announced don't have dates. Means they
aren't coming? No more than the lack of Blu-Ray dates after June.
