There's nothing to read into.. Every logical person who supported interest of consumers through HD DVD who gave more, said that this would happen. It's common sense.

We all knew BDA plans. Kill HD DVD as fast as possible through payoffs and backroom deals, so they can milk everyone. It's clear, all CE companies that are members of BDA will not lower prices. They are a cartel like group now that will set aside their real competition for a few years so they can bank in on the forced standard.

If Profile 1.0 players are this high, how long do you think it will take them to lower of the actual 1.0 and 2.0 players?

This is what back room deals do. They pay for ultimatums in the market so the consumer can be milked.

What did you think it will happen? Competition? LOL.
