Are you people kidding? 1) their savior (transformers) sells pitifully less than they hoped (and reported) so their last hope (in their minds, because no one rational or informed thought it would do them a bit of good) has failed miserably. 2) Warner just stated two days ago that a) they were reconsidering supporting two formats and b) that they were committed to Blu-Ray (how that equals up to they're dropping Blu-Ray only the hdvd crazies could imagine) 3) Selling hdvd players at $99 isn't a positive move for the format, it's a desperation move by the manufacturer. Anyone remember how much a divx player cost just before they shut down? About $99.
These are all the signs of a desperate or dead format, why you all think this is good news is beyond rational.
You know what... Im going out and buying 3 of these... 1 for me, 1 for my bro and 1 for my mom.
Format War aside... If warner dumps HD DVD (Which I doubt) I will return these players for a full refund... its not like there is a limit on return policies...
@MI Typical of you, another negative slander from h4idols bum buddy.Apologies Jimmy, you aren't in the same category as MI or h4. MI, you are the one that is desperate not HD DVD with comments like that. If I was a BR fanboy, I guess I would be getting desperate in the face of defeat though, but I wouldn't stoop to you low levels. Go and buy one @$98 you idiot& enjoy TOTAL HD and save the slander for bluray.com Get a life.
