Well, retailers, like any other business, will be willing to sell the product at the highest price the market is willing to accept. Best Buy, unfortunately, has realized that even at MSRP they can still sell it to the misinformed. The same people who are willing to pay MSRP for movies, are more than likely the ones who fall for the $34+ HDMI cable. Anyone who shops around would realize that when it comes to Blu-ray content, Amazon has the best prices. But, that instant gratification can cost consumers dearly. I've bought Blu-ray's at Best Buy, but only when I knew I was getting the upper hand. Specially when I got them for about $5 each. Very sweet indeed. That was a best buy, for me at least.
