The free movies are also with Blu-ray and Blu-ray has more titles but costs slightly more but the main blockbusters are on Blu-ray.

I thought we were talking about sales of the HD-DVD player.

Well we are aswell the free movies are with the standard HDDVD player aswell and if the X360 isnt in the living room its in the kids bedroom the parents will probably buy a standard player not the addon (if they wanted to) because they might not know that the X360 has an addon so the pricecut makes little difference to them. The pricecut only effects the people with the X360 in the living room.It was under the $200 sweet spot before why would this drop make much difference.

A $20 drop and $100 worth of free movies should make a pretty good difference.

Agreed.

Spin this any way you want, but the HD-DVD attachment is now a LOT more attractive than it used to be:

$199 < $179+5 movies

or

$299 (player + cost of 5 movies) < $179
