I'd guess that close to half of these sold were to people who already owned a buggy A1/XA1 (like me) and wanted to watch "End of Days" without it studdering all over the place

Other factors:

- People willing to spend only $200 are likely less willing to spend a lot on movie discs.
- How long after the initial thrill does the fan noise become an issue?
- How about the nagging knowledge you can never get DVD upconversion or HD audio? (Who cares, when the fanboys make such a big deal of that normally?)
- That bible of HD DVD camp: thedvdwars.com shows a negative trend after the add-on and a flat trend for BD after the PS/3.

How are the add-on sales at your store? Did you get any A2s yet (that sounds like it is buggier than the A1!)?
