Rysa4,
As I stated much earlier in this thread, content will likely be the deciding factor. It appears that the HD-DVD camp agrees with me as they paid $150 Million in order to get two studios to go exclusive for 18 months with HD-DVD.
The data indeed shows HD-DVD is no longer losing as badly as before eProduct Wars
Cheap is not everything...why is Dell doing so badly if cheap is the way to go? Why did Apple iPod do so well - given it was far from cheapest on the market?
I continue to think content will dominate consumers choices, after all this is why you buy a player.....to watch a movie!
I agree with you that the content playing field is much more evenly matched then it was previously and it is starting to show in the sales. It may indeed give HD-DVD enough of an edge ( this last move certainly seemed like desperation on the part of the HD-DVD camp) but I also doubt this is the last move we have seen in this battle....if the data shows BD losing its lead then I expect they will respond to.
