I was actually thinking of one of those noise makers that are rolled up and roll out as you blow into them.
Thanks, this war is over everyone!

I don't think so. Sony already stated prices would remain at 399. Maybe a dump of old 1.0 players at that price range. Maybe they'll reach $300 at the lowest.
S~
I thought it was "sub $300"($299) at Xmas of 2008. At least I THINK thats what the Sony guy said in the article.
They aren't going exclusive until May -- probably to finish the work they have in the pipeline.
If they have a firesale on Media, that's fine by me. I can buy a bunch up and rip 'em to disk
Cheers,
Anyways I don't agree with people selling off their stuff like this.
They spent 30$ on a disc and now few weekss later selling them for 15-17$...
Ebay is flooded.
Now, if you kept buying movies for the heck of it to help HD-DVD win the war, well that is a stupid reason, but if people bought the HD-DVD player mainly because they liked the movies, then I would understand that..

People are in panic mode. I'm not being nice to them, either. AVS prices were always out of whack. $20 for a catalog disc I can get for $19 at Amazon?
I'm lowballing everyone with offers of $5-8. Most are calling me a 'tard. However, they will probably be PMing me back on Tuesday asking if the offer's still good.
If the HD-DVD faithfull start pulling out before the HD-DVD group can even regroup and speak -- then it really is over. I congraduate you on keeping your HD-DVD player and looking for deals. They will be coming in droves.
hehe, Ive seen a lot of posts from people saying they were selling. Funny stuff. Loyal to the bone!
Yeah to many people running away. Like the Titanic was sinking or something. I still love my HD-DVD. doesn't matter they lost. I will still watch my library on it. And it is still a great upscaler.
I have a bunch of HD-DVDs (slightly more than BDs). One thing for sure I will not buy any more unless it is an insane sale (like under $5/title). Eventually my HD-DVD player will break and they will be useless. Besides who wants to tie up another port on the TV/Receiver and have another box in the cabinate.
If Toshiba (or others) come out with a dual format player at a resonable price I would probably buy one. It would need to be BD2.0 and be under $500.

Agreed. All the movies I own in HDDVD where the exclusives I wanted. I WILL NOT sell my player because its a great upconvertor and I wont dump my movies until I can buy them on BD. The only thing Ill stop is buying the software.
That being said, if Iron Man, Hulk and Hellboy 2 are not on BD, they'll be bought for HDDVD. Plus any HDDVD-only netflix rental will still be coming my way.
The A2 will be my number one choice for SDDVDs until it dies.
If the war is indeed over, I just hope these big companies learned their lesson -- Next time get their heads together and agree on a technology before losing billions of dollars, before confusing consumers, and before prolonging a pointless struggle for essentially the same product. The format war was dumb. :down
Back in 2004 I was enjoying full HD on 40 channels with VOOM and HDTV. I was ready for a high-def DVD standard. We are finally getting it in 2008? :down
