No kidding?? Apparently everybody is a retard, and you Betaray fanboys are
the brightest bulbs around!

How the fuck do you then explain that today, when I walked into the same
Futureshop store where I bought mine (two days ago when the new prices went
into effect), HD-DVD players, both A3 and A30 were SOLD OUT??! I
specifically ventured to that section of the store again to see whether
anybody else was buying, and there were zero, nada, zip left on the shelves.
They had about 10 units all in all just two days ago.

So I asked a sales guy, and you know what he said?? "Oh yeah, we sold them
out in two days. Just ordered more from Toshiba" and he suggested I come
back in a week.

Just remember dumb head, HD-DVD right now is about the same amount as a good
up-converting DVD player, so they will start eating into that market as
well. Toshiba only has to stick to their guns for 6 more months, until the #
of units sold really takes out, then we'll see whether the studios can
afford to remain Betaray exclusive.
