Online HD DVD hardware prices - end approaching?

[KretzJ]

Prices and linkages good as of 26-February-2008. Click on the hyper-linked model numbers to visit the product pages of each website.

Prices have stabilized but now the real news hits... Target.com no longer lists any Toshiba devices and Circuit City seems to be coming right behind them. Given the fact that Blu has finally won the war and we have clear evidence that retailers are already beginning to pull the Toshiba brand specifically, and HD-DVD in general, from their shelves and websites, this will be my last update.

The champagne tastes pretty good, doesn't it?
