If prices drop low enough it means that dual format players may have time to reverse the trend toward absolute dedication to one format; in the long run this should be great news for consumers! Dual inventory issues remain for B&M establishments, but if folks are able to play both types of discs because the hardware is reasonably priced, then stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Fry's, etc., will be provided some relief; in any event, this will work itself out over time.
