Talking Walmart is selling out of HD DVD players in Houston.

Walmart is selling out of HD DVD players in Houston. I just came home from the Walmart near my home in the Woodlands, and every HD DVD player has been sold out! So I quickly went online to check store availability, and a lot of stores in the Houston area are either sold out or are showing "Limited stock".
They are not just selling out online, the sale is now spreading to stores.

Check your ZIP and see how they are doing in your area.

Additionally, this would scare me rather than make me feel good. We know, from the NPD a bit ago, that player sales aren't exactly through the roof even after the price adjustment. If anything, "sold out" would make me nervous if I were in your shoes right now. If these players aren't rocketing out the door -- why are so many places having such slim stock?

That's my take on it anyway.

I already posted photographic proof in another thread. Tomorrow morning I'll show you photos of the December 7th shipping date on the players that came in that still haven't sold a single one yet.

that's what I was wondering. The recent sales trend of the SA HD-DVD players does not indicate popularity, which leads me to believe that the retailers have lowered their stock significantly...hence the "sold out" situation for a product that isn't enjoying a significant amount of demand, if sales data is of any indication.

Yeah, Wal-Marts around here have HD-DVD players on "Delete" status, with none ordered, none being shipped, none in the warehouse, and no intent to stock anymore after they're gone.

67226.

Note every store in 30 miles has stock in, and stores out of 30 miles are Wal-Marts in tiny little cities that don't deal with HDM. Also realize, every one of those stores only got ONE shipment of HD-DVD players in.
