hmmm....the walmart I work at almost never breaks street date, unless it's by accident, every now and then we get a box they forgot to put a label on. But usually that's movies, our location doesn't even get in the new release CDs until Monday usually, which is a real bummer, I was hoping they'd come in early and I could sneak one out. Anyways, I had difficulty finding an SACD player at any stores around here too. The Circuit City near me carried the Sony NS755V for around $240, but were sold out. Across the street the wiz had it for $300, but they were having a big sale, 10% off, so they offered it for $270. I told them Circuit City had it cheaper, and they wouldn't go lower, so I walked out of there. Best Buy was sold out of SACD players too, so these things aren't easy to buy, I ended up ordering online and found it cheaper. I found it at shopshine.com for $210. Including shipping, it came out around $230. Anyways, yeah, walmart is evil, I know, I work for them. But I won't get into that, I have a tendency to rant about off topic things for too long. I'm quitting there soon anyways.
