Happy b-day to me. What a difference a year makes. I bought my HD DVD add on drive for the 360 on my b-day last year and now one year later HD DVD's life has ended. While this does suck for the consumer, at least now we can get ALL the movies in HD on one format. There's at least one benefit. As for prices of BD staying high, I'm sick of having to repeat this but the main competition for BD is NOT HD DVD. It's DVD. If prices stay high, then no one will adopt it and the format will lose just as badly as HD DVD did. This while "Sony's now got a monopoly so they can do what they want crap" is starting to irritate me. First, BD != Sony. It's an alliance of companies. Second, they MUST compete against low cost DVD and upscaling players. If they plan on doing that with high prices "to screw the consumer" then good luck with that cause it'll never happen. Prices will continue to drop.
