    90,000 HD-DVD players sold last weekend

    90,000 HD DVD players sold in one weekend - Engadget
    http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/07/90-000-hd-dvd-players-sold-in-one-weekend/
    We were wondering how well HD DVD was doing with those new price cuts, and now here's Video Business with the answer: according to sources at retailers, Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Circuit City -- among others -- were able to move 90,000 stand-alone HD DVD players this weekend. Most of them were last year's entry level HD-A2, which sold for the low, low price of $99 -- but not all. This dramatically increases the user base for the HD DVD camp, but that's not saying much since the format only sold about this many stand-alone players in its first year. In the world of consumer electronics, 90k isn't that impressive, but considering the estimated loss Toshiba took on each unit, we can see why they'd want to limit the supply. The problem for the HD DVD camp is that they're really up against the PS3's sales, and even though only 40% of PS3 owners realize that there is a Blu-ray player built in, that's still about 750,000 people in the US. But ultimately, this format war is about selling movies, and we'll be keeping a close eye on the weekly sales numbers to assess the impact of this early holiday sales blitz.[Thanks, Utah!]

            Best Buy. The deal ended on Monday, but they had told me it was good till Saturday this week so the manager said they had to honor the price and they ordered me a unit from another store.

            You can get the player right now for $299 instead of $199 so it is still a good deal cause you still get the 10 free movies.

                    Only if the HDDVD includes standard DVD content.

                            You do realize that he has nothing to do with that and he is also not the CEO of the company right?

                              I already have a HD-A2 in the basement but we ordered another HD-A2 for $99 bucks last thursday from www.bestuby.com

                              They are sending us a HD-A3 instead cuz they ran out of HD-A2's. Should be here this week.
