Brian....come to think of it I did have my nose in on the Creative products at Best Buy...hard to miss those holloween boxes. It was standing room only...everybody had one of those boxes in their hands or turned around on the shelf and reading it...from sound AWE upgrades , multimedia upgrades....ect..ect...ect...which BTW was the most packed isle in that particular store when I was there. And they were carring them out with them.....also there were at least 15 Blue shirted employees in that department...most of them going up and down ladders getting more product down. I was in there 20 minutes maybe..in that department and saw no less than 3 new systems come down and go out. Upgraders were also heavy in Circut City...but Best Buy had the most traffic by far....could have been time of day. Diamond was doing very good too....I'm convinced that with the average consumer...it's not what's in the box that matters...but what the box looks like which determines product pruchased. The most 'wicked' looking upgrade kit boxes....were the ones people were walking out with. Hey buddy....look at my cool box! I was in Kalamazoo Michigan for your reference. I'd be interesting in hearing about others experiences......
