I wonder how this will affect HD DVD's attach rates. Anybody that has waited this long to buy a $99 player probably won't be buying too many $30 movies. That's the one thing Toshiba constantly brags about, the attach rates. It's also one aspect of HD DVD that Warner has been eying with great interest.

If standalone sales increase heavily over the next two months, but software sales increase only a little, Wal-mart won't have much reason to go with HD DVD, and that's the only chance HD DVD has of surviving.

Wal-Mart also had select HD titles for $15 so I'm sure people bought a few of those with their new player.

 

I bought 7 titles for $15 each.  I'll also send in for the 5 free ones.  After that, its netflix all the way.  Its great because they don't charge any extra for HD-DVDs.  The only movies I buy now are for the kids, cause they'll watch them multiple times.  I generally watch a movie once.  So netflix is the best option.
