Where have all the HD DVDs gone?

HD DVD
I know that HD DVD is dead in the water now and the HD DVD players and movies are no longer being supported, but what I am talking about are the physical discs themselves? For about a few weeks after the announcement that BluRay was taking over as the predominant medium for Hi Def movies, we saw the prices on HD DVD fall and go on sale and then boom, they disappeared. Where the hell did they go? Did Best Buy and all the retailers burn them out of spite? You can’t find a physical HD DVD anymore, I wouldn’t mind picking up a few for cheap in a store.

What do you guys think?

Yeha it’s interesting to me how they just disappeared so quickly, you would think that the retailers would have wanted ot sell them off even if at a discount, but htey just were gone after the announcement surfaced.

I was at Best Buy today and the HD dvd player for 360 was on sale. It was like $25 it used to be I think $119, is this hurting Microsoft?
