Best Buy made a billion dollars last year; this would only be an act of desperation if Circuit City or CompUSA was doing it (who together probably lost a couple hundred million dollars combined). $150 for a drive and five movies is not a bad price. Best Buy probably paid $150 for the drive anyways and are breaking even. They'll probably go back to Microsoft and buy more drives for $120 each.

Tiger Direct has a $200 refurbished HD-DVD stand-alone player. HD-DVD players are selling for under $300 new. $180 is too much to pay for just the HD-DVD drive -- it's going to be $150 for everybody soon and not just a quick sell-out offer by Best Buy (by the end of the year in my honest opinion).]]>Aug 1st 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/Aug 1st 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/Aug 1st 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/

Hehe and they say this is the format that is already dead. Great stuff! I can't wait to see sales figures comparisons between 300 on both formats! By the way, take a look at this? Look at the current standing and the trend up to now.. things certainly looking in HD DVD's favor!

Note: Yesterday, HD DVD was ahead at 52% to blu-ray's 48%. It is neck and neck, and sony said their software sales would be 5 to 1 by the end of the year.. LOL

I think HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are neck and neck....Whoever hit the $100 price point wins.

My buddy has one, and he says it can only be used to play movies, that's it.

If HD A2 is on sale again for $239 at CC..be sure and use the $40 coupon and get it for $199.]]>Aug 1st 2007 7:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/
I will Jeff.


It is truly amazing how much mass histeria this $149.99 and $179.99 with 5+ HD DVD free movies caused. on AVS forums people are reporting insane demand. Almost all Best buy and CC stores are OUT of STOCK. HD DVD addons SOLD OUT .. ha ha .. Unbelieveable.

People reporting:

"here in los angeles i went to 5 stores 2 b/b, 2 c/c and 1 sears ...all we're sold out and all managers at all locations we're suprised by the demand ...they we're re-ordering largers stocks of add ons for their next deliveries "which is for friday" they also said that the avg buyer also purchased 2-3 hd dvds as well "

"It's not just amazon either. Almost allof the best buys and circuit citys in the phoenix area are sold out of it as well.My brother had to try 5 stores before he found one that had one left."

and other parts of the country are reporting the same.

Jeez..imagine 6+ million X360s in US..if only 10% of owners bought the HD DVD addon which appearently they are ha ha.. that's an addition of 600k+ HD DVD units. Wow..now that would give SERIOUS run for the money for BDA.

Instead, I went on to Amazon and bought the HD-A2 for $240. Now, on Friday I did catch the Fry's Electronics in-store offer of the PS3, Casino Royal & Hell Boy for $499 deal, and turn around and made BB price match it. lol]]>Aug 5th 2007 8:47AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/01/best-buy-selling-xbox-360-hd-dvd-player-for-149-99/http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/questex/hom080507/index.php

Week ending 7/29 Blu-ray 66% HD DVD 34%

Year to Date Blu-ray 67% HD DVD 33%

If you look back one week at the 7/29 issue Blu-ray was 74% for that week. That's almost 3/4 all Software sold.

Unless HD DVD starts doing better than 1/2 the Sales of Blu-ray those drives are gonna get really cheap.]]>Aug 7th 2007 7:46PM
