Yeah last week I heard from a reliable source that Toshiba had secret shoppers in Best Buy trying to find out what HD players the sales people were recommending. (really)

What has changed if they are still going to carry an assortment of
HD-DVD products?
Best Buy at my location had quite a few open box Toshiba HD players for cheap last week. (returns I suspect). Some A-30's for $159.00.
