Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

I'm not surprised at all that during last weekend, BestBuy, Wal-Mart and Circuit City managed to sel 90,000 HD DVD players. Most of the players were priced at $99 and were from Toshiba with last year's entry level HD-A2, so I'm very curious to know what were their losses with that deal because if I remember correctly that's $200 off of the $299 list price and $100 off the retail price of $199.

 

This "sale" was more about fighting with Blu-ray discs that's been so widely spread because of Playstation 3 and I guess HD DVD market increased a little after the last weekend. So I guess Toshiba - which must have taken an importan loss for selling that low - and other HD DVD manufacturers are really in a game against PS3 sales.

 

What do you think?
