Well, as Profile 1.0 Blu-Ray player owners could tell you, most people don't care about special features, so this doesn't matter. Run right out and buy a player of your choice; everything will be obsolete by the end of the year. Have fun.
Seriously, I just came to EngadgetHD to see if they'd posted anything about Circuit City refuting the rumor that they were dropping HD DVD and, rather than dropping it, saw favorable trends on HD DVD.
Instead, I see a story about eHD's parent company pressing inferior HD DVD discs.
I'm sure it'll hit EngadgetHD sooner or later, and it'll be spun as yet another death knell for HD DVD (easy, of course, since the favorable trend was during a clearance sale and that Blu was still outpacing HD DVD) along with some Gartner or more leaked NPD data skewed to make it look worse than it is.
I'm not denying that Blu is dying; I'm just a little tired of the extreme tactics being used to rush the process. Let the market decide. Or y'all could just go on telling 40% o f the HD disc buying public that they're "stupid." That'll win their hearts...
