I have no doubt at all that you will be able to get pretty much any HD DVD you want for dirt cheap soon.
This is the ONLY silver lining that is for sure.

Maybe I can actually get myself to buy the Star Trek: Season One on hd dvd if they reduce the price considerably.

Right now I am averaging about $15.00 a title.....for movies in like new or new condition. My toshiba A30 is only 2 months old, so I don't see it crapping out in the new future, but if it does, my father, uncle, and brother all have A3's and I will no doubt pick up a second unit and stick it in the closet just in case.

That said, at some point I will no doubt buy a bluray player, when final spec machines are out and are affordable (I am thinking around $200.00 or less)....for now I am content to just keep adding movie titles to my collection for a 1/3 for what bluray fans are paying for them. And I suspect HD DVD titles will even get cheaper over the coming weeks and months.

I may be in the minority here but I am not buying a back up player of a format that has offically been given the ax. When my player ''craps out''..I will buy the titles again for blu...whenever they are released. I have a cheap Apex dvd player that is still going strong after 9 years!! I think the Toshiba players will last for quite sometime...I hope this to be true anyway.

I have close to 100 titles and they are great, I just need a backup in case. Probably upgrading from the A2 to the Xa2...but if i only had a few titles, I wouldn't back up. Plus I will put the A2 in the bedroom i think...

while that may be a pretty good buy, pawn shops really aren't the golden rule for pricing or price comparisons.

but hey, if you're happy you got them, then it doesn't matter what anyone says, right?
