Turns out the day I made it over to Video Only was the last day they were open before they close the SF store down for renovations. They were out of the 42" G15 and since they were closing for a while and didn't have any...

From what I've heard the sales are more a matter of perception than one of reality. Yes, plenty of stores have "sales", but really the greater issue is that the stores tend to sell more TVs during this time... not that they...
