This weeks sales sheet has a Toshiba HD-DUD for $150. the funny think is that it is marketed first and foremost as an upconverting DVD player. I love it!!!!!

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

HD-DVD related subjects are to be discussed in the "Off Topic" area only.

Both CC and BB are having the HD DVD $150 + 7 free movie ad this week.
It's just the desperate push by Tosh to try to make sales during the Superbowl week.

Or .. emptying stocks maybe ?

I felt kinda sad to not see Blu Ray players anywhere, but the PS3 was well represented (no trace of Xbox).

Getting ready for the super bowl ad rush of customers who are going to flood in to buy buy buy.

I convinced a dead buyer in Best Buy to not purchase a player. The salesman had the player on the counter, and took him to pick out a Monster hdmi cable. He had to help another customer and thats when I stepped in and explained the situation on the format war. I asked if he had heard about Warner's decision to go Blu exclusive, and he had no clue about the studio or CE's support for either format. I told him to go Blu and buy a PS3. Funny how the player was $148.00 and the salesman wanted to sell him a $100.00 Monster cable. I told him to buy cables at monoprice when he needed them.
