My local Future Shop has 'no SACD' section (other than a few of the Elton John titles interspersed with DVD-A titles). I was in last week asking about an older DVD-A which was not in stock and was told they would not be getting it in and when the last of in stock DVD-A's were sold 'that was it'. I was refered to newer releases with CD/DVDA (not DualDisc) like Morph the Cat that they will still be getting, but placing in with the CD's.....

If they put them on Sale, I'd pick up a bunch of titles that I didn't want - just for the h&ll of it.

The A&B Sound (30 miles away) has always had the best selection around here, but that has gradually reduced to about half of what it was (2 racks, 1 of DVD-A, the other SACD) displayed in the back corner of the store. I used to buy online from them but they have stopped doing that for the time being.
