I just stopped by CC and they had Rambo 2 or 3 on Bluray for 19.99 it is 9.99 at walmart and 12.99 at best buy. Most of their other movies seemed equally high.

"However, with Circuit City announcing an $114,000,000.00 loss related to the DIVX enterprise, some marketing decisions can be very, very, costly."

View profile »To keep this more relevant to the board, how will this affect blu-ray? I think it will definitely slow down sales due to fewer places to shop for the software and hardware and one less place that was high-tech centered to display blu-ray advantages.
