BYE bye birdie!. . .Best Buy removed all HD-DVDs from stores March 26 & Circuit City 50% off HD-DVDs sale starting this

[h linamen]

This is absurd, pulling HD-DVDs off the shelves rather than selling them to the millions of consumers who purchased the HD-DVD players. Did these players miraculously stop playing high definition. Why would the distributors not sell out the products already manufactured rather than removing them from the retail shelves? What am I missing? Nice way to treat the consumers who placed trust in the HD-DVD format!
