Oh heck, if it comes to that, I know several people who are convinced that their TV sets are all going to explode or something if they don't run out and buy a digital box before the digital only broadcast deadline.
Notwithstanding the fact that (1) they are all new sets, (2) there is nothing but either (a) cable or (b) satellite out here, and (3) no one .... NO ONE .... has an antenna on their house.
Some people are simply hopeless. And, for those folks, if they are only presented with one store by default, that's the only place they will ever go. It would never occur to them to look for better bargains somewhere else. So, I say kudos to whoever decided to at least give them some options.
