HD DVD's

Now that the format war is over they should be dropping the prices on HD DVD movies. Where is the best/cheapest place to get them now? Anyone having blow out sales? I'll start buying Blu-Ray movies when I have to

I saw some at Best Buy for about 30% off. I have seen the players for super cheap though. Xbox 360 HD DVD player for 49 bucks.

Just a question to see if I get it; now that the format war has ended, does this mean that there won't be any new hd-dvds produced? So if you've already invested in a HD-DVD player you're basically SOL?

Not sure, but I would guess that is the case. I don't think any of the major studios would continue to produce HD-DVD's.

DPM is an unknown quantity at this point
Comp USA online has HD-A3 for $80 w/ 2 DVD's in box. Circuit City has HD-A30 for $129 w/ 2 DVD's. A friend of mine just got a HD-A30 online for $130 w/ 2 DVD's in the box and 5 more free from rebate. Not sure if the rebate is still good, but check techbargains for deals.

The HD format war was the only thing I have ever been right about w/ regards to technology's with a close friend of mine.

I'm sure after this post, the company's will reverse their derision immediately.

they are selling unopened movies below cost. the war is over and they are trying to clear out their inventory (including new ones they continue to receive on a weekly basis). I was there a few weeks ago, and the sales clerk was saying it's insane on how much of a loss they are taking to dump them. Might as well stock up while you can because HDDVD has gone the way of betamax.
