Thought I'd share the information. OKC Best Buy had them on the shelf March 25, 2008. I handled the display unit. Didn't see an Energy Star logo on it for some reason. Plenty of boxes available. Also had the DVD-only version.

Hopefully Wal-Mart will have better pricing than Best Buy.

I just bought one. You can read more about it in the Official Panasonic DMR-EZ48VK thread (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=13530174#post13530174).
