I think you mean if your $149.99 movie player suddenly became obsolete.
It's so hard to keep track of what price they're desperately trying to peddle them at every week.

Wow, so everyone who bought an HDDVD player signed this thing?
I was saying that their official move to BluRay, specifically the announcement, was a last minute move. If it hadn't been would we have seen the reaction from the HDDVD camp that we did at CES?
I'm not saying that it hadn't been brewing; but I'm certain that it blindsided a lot of people.
Especially since I already had it pre-ordered at $40 on amazon... now to see how long it takes them to update the price.
So much of that article makes a lot of sense actually. It was definitely a last minute move, and I still believe that HD-DVD may have thought right before CES that they were gaining another studio. Although all the payoff rumours remain to be unsubstantiated, I'm sure that was a factor as well to some extent; it's the lubricant that keeps those industry gears turning. I can't help but wonder if there was a 360 sitting back stage, HD-DVD player firmly implanted, that never saw the spotlight af...
Not just for the media anymore apparently.
the 360 gets the more highly-polished turd. Hurray?
I understand they were trying to recreate the graffiti from the game, but this just looks like crap to me.
As long as you're doing something enjoyable with your kids, it's time well spent. I don't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
More and more, satire, sarcasm and stupidity all seem to be the same thing...
But I think your "logic" is high on the list of dumbass comments of all time; who cares which console is selling more, buy whatever console has the games you want to play.
but I've already got a bit of a headache. His arguments have little basis in reality anyway, and the only thing he proves is how quickly an idiot with a keyboard can generate hits on his website.
But the majority of gamers are male, and as long as that's the case most facets of the industry will focus on what that segment enjoys: boobies.
BTW, I love that one of the sites the article links to in reference has the attached image as an ad. Which industry is it that has the problem with treating women like objects again?
Quickest way to get a woman into bed is to first get her clothes off and get her to take a bath. Whether she needs it or not. That's romantic enough, you know. Bubbles in the bathtub.
This guy sounds like another sore loser in the format war.
I've read several times in regards to other lawsuits that it has to do with how long it takes the courts to get to this stuff; he may have started this case back when Nintendo first revealed the controls, but it's taken this long for it to actually go anywhere.
Instead of admitting that maybe they took the joke to far, they attack other people for calling them on it. Yeah, that's a great way to make themselves look more professional and mature, I'm sure this will make people see the error of their ways.
Again; Gizmodo, you are not journalists. You are bloggers. And you continue to prove that there is a difference between the two.
That does look like a prototype for the most basic elements of the Wii controls. Not sure if he has much legal ground if this is the extent of what was done with the idea, but he does at least have a "why didn't I try to sell this?" memory to cherish.
Too bad when people vote with their wallets, they vote in much larger numbers for Blu-Ray.
Gee, I wonder which numbers the studios and manufacturers care about?
