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.

I utterly agree with this, most people in here are declairing game over for HD-DVD - this firesale could very weel just put them back in the game..

Af for the last bit, one can only hope that the few salesmen who still have HDDVD players in their store, have the decency to be honest and tell people that HD DVD only has 30% of the movie industry behind it
