there will be retail thats why they had a massive but futile and horribly acted ad campaign. they will do retail and then since they are so close to being out of share they will either do an increase in authroized or a massive R/S to push the price back up.
but big retail deals are not guarenteed sales if the products don't fly off the shelves they have the right to return them for their monies back and goods damaged in shipping are the sellers problem. per some one i know who is a retail purchasing agent and depending on the retail chain its with , the bigger the name, the more stringent the deal is.
