Now we all know retailers only severely cut prices like this on goods they know they can't sell to get rid of inventory so there's space for newer better goods (say the 40 gig PS3's that are coming out next week??). It is the basis of Black Friday. Nothing good (new and expensive) is on sale on Black Friday. It's always last year's stuff. So what can we take these major retailers slashing prices as? Obviously there is a lack in confidence of HD-DVD hardware as well as software from Best Buy and Wal*Mart. There is NO, and i repeat for emphasis (and underlining) NO retail confidence in HD-DVD.

Couple this with Warner Bros. executives stating their near resolve to drop HD-DVD all together. This format has no life left, the kindest thing you can do now is to just let HD-DVD die a quiet and respectable death. 'Twas a valiant effort.
