BDA..Sony..Anybody - Lower your prices

It will be interesting to see if these firesale units actually give any bump to HD-DVD sales. It's certainly good news for us sideliners if BDA makes a move to counter before Black Friday.

Fire sales on players will definetly increase disc sales, there is no doubt there.
Our only real selling point for blu(that the average consumer cares about, I know our specs are better, etc.) is the BDA has a better selection of films that are exclusive to blu. You have to admit, Studio support has helped drive people in the blu direction and increase player sales despite that 200.00 price difference.
The average Joe doesnt understand all that 50gb talk and the 1080p, it just confuses them.
The bottom line is why buy a player that has limited studio support? Yes you got a cheap player but I dont know about you, but I can only watch TF and Shrek one time and I am ready for the next movie.
