"offering cash-saving incentives on new DVD format"

Should be on new home movie format, the new DVD format was HD DVD

I think its funny that between HD DVD and BLu ray the more expensive format won, and now no one can afford to buy it. Way to go guys!!

Yeah, this little format war sort of embodied the old adage:

"War doesn't determine who's right ... it determines who's left."

:)

Way to go Walmart! Consumers want a deal on these movies and players. I wonder if the PS3 is included in that $100 gift card promo?

ps... HD DVD is DEAD. R.I.P. - ( thank Microsoft )

Its funny because Sony thinks that they have won the format war, did they forget that plain old dvd is still king and will be for a long long time, consumers drive the next gen, not Sony.
And people will not give up their dvd players anytime soon for a small increase in quality (average joe doesnt see the difference).
Power to the people.................

Sure DVD sales will continue, but for how lone?? The CRTC is in control of that, and has announced (Almost a year ago) That all TV broadcasts/Movie Formats must all be in High Def... I think that would make the DVD go by-by. Besides that, it was not just Microsofts fault that HD-DVD failed, look at Transformers the Movie.. Serisouly, it DIDNT EVEN HAVE 5.1 SEROUND SOUND!! This was supposed to be the flagship title, to show off the.. I guess benifits of HD-DVD. Even MR. BAY didnt want his movie on HDDVD, and thats FUNNY. Blueray movie says have passed 300 Million sales, I think their doing fine.

Sorry sorry, I didnt mention that the CRTC did stat by 2010 everything will have to be in HD, my bad

thats cause avergae jo doesnt see the apparent difference... and btw to who ever said that HD-DVD was cheaper... apparently you never checked the prices cause blueray was always cheaper and by like 20 cents usually..

I'm sorry correction, they don't own one to be able to see the difference!

I very much doubt Blu-ray disc sales total over 300million.

Everyone should be forced to study economics and finance before posting.
1) Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players cost about the same to manufacture.
2) Blu-Ray player prices were higher because Microsoft is not subsidizing the manufacturing cost and all manufacturers saw an opportunity to make a profit with early adopters who are willing to pay $400+
3) BluRay discs and regular DVDs cost less than $1 to manufacture. The higher price at the store is because people willing to pay $400+ for a Blu-Ray player will happily fork over an extra few bucks for a far superior movie watching experience on their pricey HDTV and Surround Sound.
4) Stop whining.
