Nov 6th 2008 11:30AM With all that bank maybe they can patch the game so that NPCs don't freaking disappear. And get some people on all of the other PS3 bugs. I own the PS3 version (only because the Xbox red ringed and I needed a game) so I have the right to complain :)

Best Buy offers the Toshiba HD-A2 for $100, too, and other HD DVD deals {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2007 10:39AM My wife just tried to see if she could pick up one more and they were out already and they informed her that they ended up having 90 A2's. If KC, MO is getting 90 then there were probably 300,000 to 400,000 players sold today across the country. (I don't know the exact number of Wal-Marts but 3-4 hundred thousand seems reasonable)
That's a lot of players in home now for HD-DVD and to say it is an HD-DVD LIQUIDATION is just silly. It is a A2 LIQUIDATION. And a new player is already out. If you think that this amount of players in home isn't going to have a serious affect on the format war and that Blu-Ray is still the clear cut winner then you're just not thinking logically.
Blu-Ray could still win with their studio support alone, but with Paramount/Dreamworks on board for 18 months (?) and WB not jumping on Blu-Ray exclusivity right away we'll see what happens over the holidays and if HD-DVD can get the software sales that say people will buy the movies if they can get the hardware cheap, then Blu-Ray could be in serious trouble, even though I'm afraid it will never go away completely due to the PS3.

Nov 1st 2007 5:08PM It may not say 98 in the commercial, but it sure does on the website.
I have both formats right now and enjoy both, but this is a really good thing. If Toshiba can be successful with $100 players and get into the mass market, then a winner can prevail, but if the $100 players don't sway this battle to HD DVD's side in a huge way then you would imagine HD DVD will never take off and Blu-Ray will win.
Hats off to Toshiba and the HD DVD camp for at least doing something bold to really win over the consumer. Either way we can hopefully have one dominant format by holidays '08

Just imagine the media hype and excitement it would create if BioShock had dog fighting, it would be unstoppable.
