Best Buy trying to package HD-DVDs

[nhaase]

I looked for anything on this on these forums but found nothing: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&type=category

I don't know if this is just online, usually it says so if that's the case, so I think it's in stores, as well. If you buy the HD-DVD player that Best Buy sells (other than the add-on and combo, they only sell one), you get to pick 4 free movies from what looks to be the entire catalog (they even have the SD DVD versions of The Departed on that list). They don't have anything like that going on for BD, probably because they have no problem moving those units.

I know there are newer models that could be hitting the stores soon, but it seems to me like they might be trying to clear the shelves, of both players and titles. MS is already doing the South Park thing w/ their add-on.

Anyone's comments or knowledge on this are welcome. I'd like to be right here in thinking that BB is just trying to get rid of HD-DVD.
