Which means you obviously get out a lot to stores that'd have BluRay and HD-DVD titles. Y'know, some places put them way up on the third or fourth shelf, so you may not have been able to see them...

Re:Cheapest HD-DVD player? What?

[Anonymous Coward]

It is generally assumed that possessing an XP system is a given, much like that you breathe air or eat food. Imagine someone touting "the cheapest food on Earth" and you're like "excuse me, some of us are fed intravenously".

The price of a player has to sting though, they should have called it "sting ray" and then I would have bought one just out of respect for ridding us of that irritating Irwin fella.

Go outside. Play baseball with your friends or something. There's plenty of time later to be introverted and browse slashdot all day, hating the government. Though before then, perhaps you should learn that marketing does not necessarily equal sales.

They may sell them at a loss...
