Given that the HD-A2 is now discontinued, one would have expected that Best Buy would just cancel all of the orders and be done with it -- but they would be wrong. Best Buy instead is replacing all backordered HD-A2 players with the new third-generation HD-A3 which retails for $299.99.
Selling their players for $99? Smells like desperation.
Nintendo must be desparate for having the lowest priced console too /sarcasm
Once they have attracted the mass market, HD-DVD will still survive for a bit longer and movie studios might see an opportunity to roll in some more profit (i.e to go neutral and support both formats).
cooooooooooooooooooooo
