Why not post the store locations that will stock the new LG HD PVR? They would get flooded with customers for it, free advertising here in effect - why keep it a secret?! |
That sound like a good idea from a consumer perspective, but the store(s) in questions may not be able to handle the volume just yet. It would cause more harm than good to send 20+ people to one or two stores if they only plan on stocking a couple of units.

Either that or its just another false rumor, which I suspect since Best Buy has never carried Zenith/LG stuff before - Circuit City has so I'd expect them before Best Buy. |
Not a false rumor, 100% verified from a very reliable poster! Not too many people have carried LG seeing as how they really just started marketing in the US under the LG name. Both stores carried Zenith products so them carrying LG goes in line with that fact.
I'd like to know also. I'd venture to guess that the major cities that are test beds are the usual cities, NY, LA etc. I would also have someone check local MN stores as this is where Best Buy's HQ is.
I'll report back from Cincy later tonight.
UPDATE: I checked here locally, they didn't have any in stock, but I had one of the guys check the system and they have them in the 'system' with a date of 1/27/04 (today). None of the Best Buys in my area had the unit in according to the 'system'. If anyone is interested the Best Buy SKU/ITEM number is 6287047 with an MSRP of $999. Someone with more time might have an associate check all the regions/stores with that SKU number and see what they come up with.
