That's what I was wondering, I'd love to pick some up at a discount. My Xbox HD-DVD player works great :) Just cause Blu-Ray won doesn't mean my hddvd drive magically stopped working.

inetvideo.com is selling transformers hd dvd for $1.99
anchorman hd dvd is also $1.99
many other hd dvd movies available at inetvideo for $3.99, $4.99, $5.99, $6.99, $7.99, $8.99, and $9.99
i'm sure at least some of these are combo hd dvd/dvd's which might make a difference to some, also.

I didn't buy any HD equipment until the war was over but I was seriously rooting for HD-DVD to win. Mostly because I didn't want to see SONY become any bigger of a bully than they already have become. Unfortunately, it wasn't the consumers who decided which format should prevail. So much for Free Market.
