Nielsen VideoScan High-Def market share for week ending November 4th, 2007 {Engadget HD}
Nov 9th 2007 4:01PM I bought the A2 for $98 as a second player. I also did not purchase any new HD-DVD's when I bought the player. $30 is still to high to pay for a good movie. The cheaper movies I already own on DVD and dont see a reason to upgrade.
90,000 HD DVD players sold in one weekend {Engadget HD}
Nov 7th 2007 11:21AM Just compairing 1 for 1. There is more then 1 HD-DVD player model on the market as well.
As for the BD-P1000. it sounds like a little bit of a love fest with it on the Podcast. If for know other reason then it doesnt sound like to you any other player is as good (HD-DVD player that is).

Nov 7th 2007 10:59AM Ben,
Did you read the story with your BLU-glasses on again. You left out some good lines from the story like :
"Within three days, Toshiba corralled nearly as many sales as the best-selling stand-alone Blu-ray Disc player has sold since its launch. Sonys dominant Blu-ray set-top, the $499 BDP-S300, has shipped about 100,000 since it bowed this summer."
and
"In fact, the 90,000 figure for HD-A2 sales could be even higher, as it doesnt appear to include all retailer information. "
nowhere did I see that only 90K HD-DVD players have been sold before this sale. That seems very low to me.
Maybe blu-Ray has sold more players because people have to keep upgrading the player every time a new standard comes out. Your beloved BDP-1000 was one of the worst reviewed pieces of hardware Home Theater mag has ever reviewed. I guess the people who bought the first gen Blu-Ray players have already had to upgrade to a better player.
HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on November 6th, 2007 {Engadget HD}
Nov 5th 2007 9:27AM This list is becoming more and more absurd. We are counting 4-packs of previously released movies as one new movie. The pack is 4 movies that are already being counted in the list so why count the movie twice?

Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player: $100, this Friday, Wal-Mart {Engadget HD}
Nov 2nd 2007 12:48PM Got mine this morning in PA. My Wal-Mart had about 30 and they all sold in a matter of minutes. I have 2 stores within 10 minutes of each other both had about 30 and both sold out by 8:30am. Thankfully my wife and I went to different ones so I got one.
Thank you Wal-Mart. I have already watched 2 movies I love this thing.
