I don't think HD sales were worse then BD, they just all got cold feet when everyone pulled out of the market and figured they'd only have to sell bd at a higher price.
Every time I went to a store with HD stock people were buying stuff up at the good prices most were at. They probably got offered full buyout to dump inventory but who knows.
CC here had a bunch of hd movies for half off for a couple of weeks after the BB's here sent theirs back but now my closest store is also BD only so either it all sold or they sent what was left back.
Now Toshiba's crying abot how much money they lost and Bd movies are never on a 2 fer sale any more, they don't have to now I guess.
Once they figure out that one reason DVD movies sell so, or did, well is the price, maybe they'll drop it and BD will start really moving.
