If thats not proof of a fire sale, I don't know what is.
I'm sorry, but retailers are moving this stuff out fast and cheap. You can't tell me that Amazon, Best, C City, ect don't see the writing on the wall.
I have not invested in either format nor do I really care who wins (and now clearly winning) I will buy when all the studios make the movies in one format.
Seriously - both formats have been coming hard and heavy with the promotions since they launched. The only thing they prove is that HDM in general is struggling for meaningful adoption.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

They're also doing at least 30% off _every_ Blu-ray disc. ZOMFG FIRE SALE. :)
