I noticed this too while looking at the weekend circular for Circuit City. I just assumed Sony or the consortium provided ad dollars to promote Blu-Ray because they not only highlight Blu-Ray and fail to mention HD DVD, they also show Underworld ads all over the place.
Best Buy in a sense did something similiar when Blu-Ray first appeared. I noticed they removed their HD DVD display and replaced it with a Blu-Ray display. For a couple of weeks, I couldn't even locate something that would even show that they were selling HD DVD in their store, but at the same time they were also sold out of the players.
Hopefully HD DVD will get some equal opportunity somewhere down the line.
