Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
Well you gotta consider that when they did go HD exclusive, they couldn't have possibly shipped out every single BluRay title on hand to retailers, so they were bound to have to just lock them away in storage. The chance of destroying a large amount of DVDs is unlikely, until you know that format is gone, and since BluRay came out on top, time to open up the warehouse doors.
Oh and if someone says this is irrelevant and to stop posting about this crap, I'm saying it now: Suck one.
