The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

I gotta admit, the $99 price point had me really tempted. But I resisted on principle. Go TEAM BLUE!
I actually tried to pick up an A2. Best Buy was sold out though, and my attempts at jumping into the HD-fray were thwarted.... until the next deal.
lol right.. "on principle" my ass.. I don't think you had any intention on getting a HD-DVD player.. otherwise you would have jumped on the deal.. I mean you spent $400+ on a Blu-Ray player to get HD movies, why not spend $99 to expand your HD movie library?? I mean, you were "tempted" by the $99 right? I can understand though.. if I spent over $400 on a HD movie player and then saw one for $99 that can play HD movies just as well, if not better, I'd probably pass on it to.. out of principle.
What principal is there at stake? We aren't talking about loyalty to nation or family. If you can afford both, you can only gain from having both (more films to watch!)
On principle? Why because you think the execs at Sony deserve a $100K bonus for a Blu-ray success more than the guys at Toshiba for HD DVD success? What principles would you be compromising exactly?
