Not my words, but an interesting slant on this article that just came across my "news wire" (Google sidebar newsfeed):

From the article:

"What do you think? Good time to scoop up a clearance-price HD DVD player? Or is there no sense spending money on a doomed format? "

The latter.

That's some pretty harsh rhetoric from a site that's been fairly pro HD-DVD, at least in the past.

That is indeed a firesale setup, though. No doubt about it.

Definitely a sign that they are crumbling behind the scenes. Maybe Toshiba will raise the white flag after all.
