I recently had to replace the DVD player in my bedroom. It was hooked up to a 42" 1080P LCD TV. I wanted a new "standard" DVD player with a HDMI out that upconverts to 1080P. I wont pay the current price for a Blu-ray player. Plus I already own a 60G PS3. The models with the features I wanted cost 70$-80$. I ended up purchasing a nice Toshiba HD-DVD player fpr 68$, it has HDMI out, upconverts standard discs to 1080P, and has HD-DVD playback which I consider a bonus. However, I stopped in Best Buy with the hopes of picking up some HD-DVD's for dirt cheap to find out that they completely pulled them from their shelves. I was told by a store clerk that they don't want to carry product that's not valuable to the customer. He then told me that Wal-mart did the same. Why aren't these things in bargain bins, on liquidation? How does this put the consumer first? I think places like Best Buy and Wal Mart are just retaliating for what's happened. I know I can get them online but any retailers?

  1. I dont think you will be able to get from what i know all retailers pulled them off there shelfs. You might get lucky at some local electronic or video store.


  2. Most retailers have "sent them back". I assume the studios can claim a tax right off ... although you may eventually find some showing up at liquidation stores.

    The link below will find the best on-line prices ... and that's really the only dependable way to find the disks these days.

  3. I know for a fact that you can still get some at a target and and a K mart and sears too cause I went shopping today and seen them there. at all the places

  4. AMAZON
