OK Sony, now it's your turn.

Sony doing realy well right now so i dont expect to see them grabbing at straws unless things turn around.

@William: Blu-ray is doing well, yes. I was at two Best Buys tonight and it's clear that Blu-ray is starting to edge HD-DVD in terms of selection, etc. (Blu-ray easily had double the shelf space and titles HD-DVD did).
BUT... that could change if the Blu-ray folks don't have a player that's competitive with the lower-end HD-DVD players. I'm not saying that they need to be on the same price level, but a Blu-ray player at $249 would make a lot of difference right now.
Sony and the other Blu-ray manufacturers do have to answer this price cut, and the 40GB PS3 isn't the answer (even with the free Spider-man 3). Otherwise we could be talking about Blu-ray's demise in a year's time.

All the HD-DVD's were sold out.
Seriously, I haven't been keeping up to date on the US pricing but $199 is very good value, Its a great DVD player anyhow so for ANYONE thinking of spending $200 on a DVD player, its a no brainer.
Does make me wonder what the entry level for the Chinese players is gonna be in 6-9 months time, $99?

"Does make me wonder what the entry level for the Chinese players is gonna be in 6-9 months time, $99?"
That'll be a long time. The only reason the player is $200 is because it's heavily subsidized by Toshiba. There's more competition on Blu-ray players and they contain pretty much the same hardware as an HD DVD player, yet they are not that cheap yet.
