Definitely not in the 'your fault' department, though an educated decision is alway best, but it is worth noting that reports I've seen are saying that Toshiba was planning on a slow phase out over the next several months. This of course would have suckered hundreds more people into spending their m oney on a format that even toshiba knew was dead. It is reported that Wal-Mart didn't like the idea of it and decided to announce their intentions in order to force toshibas hand.

Doesn't help your particular case, but it is nice to see that even Wal-Mart wanted to end this promptly, and didn't want to screw consumers over any more than already done. I also want to note for all the folks who have been spewing the "sony wants to screw over the wold and toshiba is Abraham Lincoln" crap. They were planning on dragging a lot more people down with them.

Hopefully they'll give you guys a credit on a BD player when they have one to bring to market. It seems like they'll have as many fences to mend with their own customers as they do with the folks who've been telling them to end the war for months...
