To me it was a heck of a deal even though the HD DVD format lost out to Blu-ray.  ($49 = HD DVD Player, Alternative Drive for my 360 to use instead of burning up my main drive watching movies, 1 Free Movie - King Kong HD, Media Center remote & 5 Free HD DVD's thanks to the Toshiba rebat.)<br><br>I looked at Best Buy for HD DVD movies to stock up before they were extinct. However Amazon had a heck of a better deal at an average of 52% off normal price.  I picked of the Discovery Channel's HD DVD version of Planet Earth for $25 brand new (normally $79).  Just placed an order for DVE: HD Basics on HD DVD which the guys over at Guide to New Home Theater (<a href="http://www.guidetohometheater.com/testtools/308dve/" rel="nofollow">http://www.guidetohometheater.com/testtools/308dve/</a>) rated slightly better than the Blu-ray version.  <br><br>I'm new to HD DVD...will buy Blu-ray once the players drop in price.  Have two HD TV's at home...so life is good.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bill]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2008 11:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HD DVDs vanishing from Best Buy stores]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm sorry you're wasting your money.<br><br>Why don't I just give you my address and you can mail it to me instead.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mikey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2008 11:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HD DVDs vanishing from Best Buy stores]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</guid><description><![CDATA[Fill me in on how that's a waste of money. 1.)

Go run your head into a tree and in your dazed and confused state, go buy an extremely overpriced bd player that is not upgradeable and then go buy those same movies you got for cheap for three times as much. LOOSER! :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dwain white]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 7:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HD DVDs vanishing from Best Buy stores]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't worry Bill, it's just the Blu-ray gang starting to realise that outsides of the confines of their PS3 niche almost no-one is bothering with Blu-ray.<br><br>..... and nor will they for a long time - which will be way too long a delay for Blu-ray to survive in fact.<br><br>Fill your boots with inexpensive HD DVDs and get those high quality high def movies right now at a price that can't be beaten <br>(not even by their SD DVD counter-parts).<br><br>Like more than a few of us you might even consider buying a very cheap new 2nd HD DVD player to tuck away & cover you in the event of damages/breakdowns for the next 10yrs or so (if you want to be a real skin-flint the bare PC HD DVD ROM drive is now available brand new @ under £18/$36).<br><br>All for far less than the alternative Blu-ray option.<br><br>Blu-ray is a dead format too, it just hasn't realised it yet.<br><br>.....but it has begun to dawn on some of the Blu-ray fanclub, some of them have started to realise & worry it's going that way, hence the pathetic & laughable 'wall of whining' when, despite all their relentless evangelising for Blu-ray & bashing HD DVD, people still keep buying up the 'dead' HD DVD stuff.<br><br>It's pretty funny really.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Truth Teller]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 11:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HD DVDs vanishing from Best Buy stores]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</guid><description><![CDATA[Has anyone in Canada found good deals on HD-DVDs?

I noticed that their 30% off has been added an additional 20% off, totaling the discount to 50% off of all HD DVD movies just for that day.  After a while, a senior store employee has approached me in the aisle section of the HD DVD movies and told me that they just recently dropped the prices of all HD DVD movies to $9.99.  Season shows and multi-pack movies are still half off.  I asked her on how long this sale will go on and she told me only for tonight as after they close, all remaining HD DVD movies will go back to the truck.  They will not sell any HD DVD movies anymore.  I asked her another question if this is happening to all Best Buys and her reply is that she is only aware of their store and another Best Buy nearby.  I quickly grabbed 11 HD DVD movies for $9.99 each.  This Best Buy is located in West Los Angeles (corner of Pico Blvd. and Sawtelle Blvd.).  I will check them back again tomorrow and a couple of BB at a different city over the weekend to see if its really happening nationwide and hope to get some more of these fire sales.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ogscorpion]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 2:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on HD DVDs vanishing from Best Buy stores]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/03/26/hd-dvds-vanishing-from-best-buy-stores/</guid><description><![CDATA[Went to my Best Buy 3/26/08 and no HD-DVD in sight.
