I would have expected to start seeing to good HD-DVD clearance sales
by now. I was really hoping to see some bargains out there on some
movies/boxsets/etc. But so far, zilch.

Best Buy currently has a 30% off retail on all titles and hardware. Some of
their older players are heavily discounted far beyond 30%. Not a great deal
overall, but obviously a start. DVD Planet which is local to me has been
selling used HD-DVD (and a few BR) titles for about $10 - $15 but they have
yet to discount their new stock. It also appears some chains are simply
returning discs and hardware and not bothering to sell at a discount to move
merchandise. Several Virgin Music stores in my area recently completely
cleared out all their HD-DVD stock from shelves over a weekend without
bothering to discount sell them.

Why bother? Toshiba is now saying upconversion of regular DVDs is
virtually the same as HD DVD.

Whoopie ****ing doo. Since they originally mark everything at MSRP,
which only they, Circuit City and the like do, 30% off that doesn't even
beat Amazon.

Samer thing happened at A&B Sound here. I guess they can get more
money returning them than selling them.

Of course if that is true, we were scammed paying for high definition
dvds!
Movie Trading Company in Dallas (owned by Blockbuster) is selling all
their HD DVD movies for 14.99. They don't have much of a stock and no
box sets. I had a big credit with them a while back and tried to get
them to order the Harry Potter box set for me, but they never would.
Any good HD-DVD clearance sales?
