It is probably because the HD DVD players are cheap already. 100 buck off is not as much of a story as a unit with a $800 retail price going for $499.
IMO, HD DVD is not worth the price anymore. Any price for a dying format is too much to pay.
It's still too early to say either is winning or losing, who knows, as long as this format war possibly could take both could come out winning if dual format players can drop in price enough to at least come within inches of the pricing of either single format player. Personally I'm tired of people getting so worked up over the outcome of this HD movie war, I just want to get an HD movie in some format and put it a machine and watch the movie. My ideal player would play HD DVD/Blu-ray/DVD/VCD... as well as being a network Xvid/DivX player to play the movies stored on my computers hard drive in the other room.
True, and the second gen BD players will be even cheaper
