What’s the hot Christmas gift this season? A stroll through a certain department store reveals plenty of players of the digital variety.

In fact, I counted over 230 DVD players on the top shelves — not the regular shelves, these were over and above those — with 112 of one Memorex model alone. That figure also omits the DVD+VCR players, though god knows why you’d want one of those.

I hope Target‘s (corporate) buyers are right and DVD is going to continue to grow. At this price point ($90s), it sure seems likely. Best Buy even has a shitty player for 58 bucks.
