While many stores are
slashing down HD DVD player prices as much as management will allow, it seems that one diehard supporter is casting a blind eye to the whole format war meltdown. Rock -- which tooted its own horn after
making HD DVD standard on many of its laptops -- hasn't changed its approach one iota. Even now, the firm is still offering up internal HD DVD drives (and writers) in a plethora of its machines, and curiously enough, there's not even an option to select a Blu-ray or combo player. C'mon Rock, we know you're just trying to clear out inventory, but at least give prospective buyers a choice in the matter, would ya?
Update: Looks like a DVD-RW "downgrade" option is currently available for those that inquire, and Blu-ray options should be added
in due time. Thanks, Felix!

You mean like Sony worked hard to give a choice to consumers?

And such an appropriate avatar. Shows just how crazy he is.
Idiot.
Atleast you got the CHEAP part right.
You must have an amazing life.
Dude seriously, let it go, when Toshiba gave up the ghost, that should have been your cue to get a life....
Engadget Staff, have you ever tried to read their forum? As per 19/02/2008 (the day toshiba announced defeat), James from rock has announced that a downgrade to DVD-RW drive is available, and blu-ray option will be added soon. I have been following their action for a long time.
