Yeah, HD DVD is done, in a hurry as well. Price advantage? What price advantage? The second-gen players - still from Toshiba alone - are coming out at the same price with less features (the A2 - minus analogue multichannel outputs) or higher prices matching or higher than the Blu-ray players (XA2 - $999). The Phillips player can be had for $898. The Samsung can now be had for under $600, and the PS3 will be starting at $499 with HDMI 1.3. Go figure.
