Jay, HD-DVD projected sales of players and their manufacturing reduction is a real event. I was surprise that "T" has cut back such a large percentage of production of players this quick with MS and Intel claiming HD-DVD was the future with HP looking over their shoulders. A somewhat unless rumor running around is that the big studios did a double take about looking at HD-DVD when the adult XXX crowd was claiming HD-DVD was their future media in the big media market, as a last ditch effort to save the XXX $$$. It seems the XXX's golden egg, the Internet, has hatched and is killing the big XXX,s $$$, with the free XXX posting world wide. The big studios see a opportunity pickup some "gray" market value
Don't you just love PR spin! Its like dealing with a used chev salesman trying to sale you a "low mileage" 911 Turbo Porsche on a Honda dealership lot.
