Countries like China know this perfectly.

Toshi supposes that selling cheap-o-players the people will jump and buy tons of HD's movies, not now, in the future. Right now the HD-DVDs will sell for $15 on black friuday on walmart, but the next year, is that system survives, the prices return to normal, That people will spend $40 on a movie??? no way, toshi is selling the illusion of a cheap media

Even, if toshiba sells millions of players the future of the format is very obscure...again, and the competence? nobody can make a $99 hd-dvd player right now without lossing money. Toshiba is subsidizing the losses, from the players and the movies. Why, because they're going.......out!

The scale economy will make prices falls automatically, and of course the fair competence, as blu-ray is promoting. You can choose between various models, prices and features...and more will come once this tricky sales ends and that format dissapear.

Now for last, do you think is a coincidence that after the announce of warner re-evaulating the neutrality of the format support, toshiba suddenly lowered the prices of their players. Toshiba knows something will happen very soon with warner, and are trying to "show" that their format is "full of life & future" because a lot of people "bought their cheap player", and convince warner don't turn blu...

Wow. This is very interesting. We are seeing the painful agony of hd-dvd front row.

more HD DVD BACKERS CLAIM THIS LITTLE STATEMENT..AND I JUST LAUGH:

Blu-ray
2006-2007
RIP

Yet the death of another Sony backed format. May the remains of Blu-ray lie alongside UMD, BetaMax, MemoryStick, MiniDisc, ATRAC and Super Audio CD. RIP indeed. lol

NOTICE :
UMD: which other CE company makes UMD drives other than SONY gee wiz its only on the PSP..and last time i checked a faild format is a format with no use at all. UMD is still being sold...and final fantasy :7 C.CORE has been selling steady every month since it has been released in japan

BETAMAX: once again WHAT OTHER COMPANIES MAKE BETAMAX PLAYERS WITH OUT THEM BEING A REBADGE OF A SONY PLAYER

MEMORY STICK: YOU DO KNOW Sony is not the only ones who make Memory Stick's.

Blu-Ray: yea not any other CE companies has invested money or selling the Blu-Ray format. .yea only the 9 largest PC and CE company's world wide are also PRODUCEING NOT JUST 1 BLU-RAY PLAYER BUT MULTIPLE MODELS OF Blu-Ray players .

what does HD DVD have in companies makeing HD DVD drives..which of those companies currently have a HD DVD player out aside from Toshiba and not just a rebadge of a Toshiba player.

the 1080i Toshiba HD DVD player has killed off their own 1080p Toshiba HD DVD player in sales...people are going to buy this 1080i HD DVD player than see the 1080p HD DVD player with the sticker of "true HD" explain to the people that just bought the 1080i why their $98.00 HD DVD player is not true HD....

THOUGHT SO.
