One of the metrics the studios are looking at are sales of Standalone players.

And I suspect they (particularly Warner's) are taking a close look at Toshiba HD-A2/A3 sales. Strolling through BB and looking at A3s at half the price of the cheapest Blu-ray players makes me wonder how big an impact cheap 1080i hardware is making on Blu-ray's alleged HD dominance.

Time will tell if cheap prices on players for HD DVD have any impact on software.

My experiences at B&M stores hasn't changed on either side. Lots of browsing through titles but at current prices, hardly any is bought. It's fun talking to folks though as we are browsing.
- Early on I was willing to buy at the $30 pricepoint (or the Amazon "equivalent"). - oscar 07:04:54 11/26/07 (0)
  but after the BOGOs (and associated buying sprees), I've started to be quite a bit more cost conscious. Especially since just about every new title drops in "effective" price within 6 months of it's release. Similar to what DVD has been doing all along.
