I happened to stop in to a local CircuitCity on Sunday, and was approached by a salesman. He mentioned that they had the Samsung BRD player hooked up to a 50" Sony SXRD playing 5th Element (I assume the BRD version, or perhaps it was the demo disk). Sorry, I can't tell you how it looked, as I'm trying to maintain my self control for at least another 6-12 months, so I stayed as far away from that setup as possible.
I did get the impression that that salesman, if not CC in general, was excited about Blu-Ray. He offered up that information without any provocation, other than having me standing around the large-screen TV section. Of course it could have just been the thought of getting a big fat commission from selling someone a 50" SXRD and a BRD player that got him excited.
