I don't think that has anything to do with demand, and everything to do with service. Retailers like Best Buy have a more knowledgeable staff, and in the case of Best Buy you can buy a service plan that provides for in home service. It is really a luxury market, and it really needs that particular buying experience.

I would not be surprised in the least if this is true, and I would not be surprised if it were the start of a trend. That said I will keep an open mind. I have said this was possible for quite some time, but if we want to be vindicated we sometimes see more in something then we ought to. So I will just leave it at that.
