Anyone see the Target commercial in "HD" on Sunday night?

Just watched Desperate Housewives off my DVR and noticed a Target commercial that was widescreen and appeared at least to be in HD and not just stretched.  Anyone else notice this?  It would be nice if commercials start to be made in HD.

Saw that commercial...was very pleasantly surprised to see it in HD.  I noticed it immediately (so did my wife).  Haven't seen any since.

There was also one shown during this week's rerun of Lost.

I wonder how long it will take advertisers to realize that commercials in HD really draw your attention to them.  They should be taking advantage of this now since HDTV ownership skews to higher income households right now, and HD commercials haven't become commonplace yet.

Higher-end manufacturers are missing a great opportunity to set themselves apart from their competition.

I haven't noticed any HD commercials outside of SuperBowl Sunday a year or two ago.  

The only nice thing about SD commercials is that I can point out to my friends: "See that? That's standard definition." :D

There was one (then two) that played over and over again during the olympics. :D
