Then you minimize the $200 (by the way, we're now at sub $100, something the BD camp said HD DVD would never achieve by Christmas, yet we're now at $98) saying they need demand... lowering the price is designed to increase demand! I wasn't interested at $500, but at $100 you can count me in!
Just be fair in your analysis, don't skew things just to be pro-BD.
Unfortunately, I don't see how anyone can view EngadgetHD as unbiased. Even in their podcast, they're publicly stated that they support BD, and their incessant bashing of HD DVD players, stores, and supporters in their "summaries" is infuriating. Yet as I type this I see a Flash-based, HD DVD advertisement. If the HD DVD people bothered to read EngadgetHD they're never buy another bit of advertising space again.
EngadgetHD can no longer be taken seriously by anyone who is looking for any kind of objective, HD information.

You admit you "don't get into a Kmart much" but then mention that they only sell the HD DVD Xbox player. A quick search of kmart.com would reveal they sell the Toshiba A2 (http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_13500000TOS-HDA2P?vName=Computers+%26+Electronics&keyword=hd+dvd) and A3 (http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_018W875928110001P?vName=Computers+%26+Electronics&keyword=hd+dvd) players as well.
