Yep, much as I like HDDVD and had hoped for the phony war to go on for a
bit longer, this is the tipping point.

I doubt that I will buy much in the way of HDDVD movies, and will only
buy BluRay for an average of $15 or less. That last may be harder to do
when the final shakeouts are over, I expect the BOGO and other great
deals to be much less and much less often.
