That's an impressive number, but considering the number of homes with video dvd players, it is still a smaller number. I am surprised actually. I think if they had left the prices at $199 throughout the entire holiday season, they would see a much bigger increase yet to come. And of course the economy has to be considered. When buying a player, people also have to consider how much they will be paying for the discs. It was nice to see Warner take 50 titles and reduce their retail price to 19.95, so most are on sale at $14.99 at brick-morter stores, other studios should follow suit because there are alot of releases out that were not blockbusters that should not be 39.95 suggested retail.
