So, I wonder how many of these BD sets have sold now? I wonder if the sales have dropped significantly since the first week of release.
When I was going through the flyers in this Sunday's newspaper, I didn't see one single ad for the set- not in Target, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. You'd think they'd still be pushing it since it's only been out a couple of weeks.
Too lazy to do the math myself - not too lazy to dig up a few sources for the amount of dough LFL raked in so far:

I know that the BD sets sold very well the first week, I'm just wondering if they're still selling well or if the sales have dropped off significantly. The sales could actually end up being disappointing if the fanboys all bought it the first week, but if the more casual fans heard the internet chatter and decided not to buy, when they normally would have bought it a few weeks or months after the release.
Oh, wait, is this the KenKraly thread? ;-)
