"This is not an act of desperation on the HD-DVD camp's part � this is an act of desperation on Best Buy's part. ;)"

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).
