Yes, I'm sure having the players themselves sit on the shelves unsold will do wonders for the sales that will decide the format wars. Seeing as how HD-DVD players have been in this range for a while now, I see this more as an idiotic move than a fatal blow. The writer of the post has the right idea; Sony just told all potential customers to buy a PS3 or wait until Summer. Given that I can't walk into a store around the bay area without tripping over one, maybe that's the idea...
We'll ignore the fact that right NOW. HD-DVD players are still $200 cheaper. If you think it won't drop even further by summer you are delusional. Go back to your Sony forums fanboi, you're embarrassing yourself.

Nice knowing you HD DVD! I'll miss the good times we had together.

What? You mean you're simply tossing out your HD player because of this? Or are you the typical Sony/BR fanboy type?
