HD-DVD fans are turning to BD

[Grisle]

Well it let's them know that Toshiba wasn't ready to lay down and die. They'll see this as an opportunity to get reinforcements and it may strengthen their resolve. Some may see it for what it is a fire sale, but these HD-DVD supporters are persistant and pesky. If you don't think Toshiba and their customers aren't short-sighted then you are giving them too much credit...they're nothing if not short-sighted and moves like this only hurt mass adoption.

EDIT: Don't forget about the uninformed people that will see the sales as a perfect time to jump into HDM.
