I admit it. I'm one of the idiots who bought an A3 at Best Buy a few weeks ago for $149. Had 30 days to return it, so nothing to loose. Was just about to return it when I saw the Circuit City $99 deal. So I went to BB got a price match, and they adjusted the price on my card to $95. Considering I got 9 movies, 2 in the box, 2 I picked out in the store, and the other 5 on the way, and a brand new great upconverting DVD player for $95, I'm a pretty happy idiot. With over over 500 titles already, disc prices dropping, and those jumping ship selling off their collections, discs will be be pretty cheap. I don't play video games and am on a tight budget, so I will not buy a BR player or a PS3. By the time the price comes down, I'll be downloading Hi-def movies like most of you anyway.

I think this is the most important and forward-thinking comment on this page; a lot of us get lost in argument and the need to defend our actions, when we might as well bow to the gods of change. To join a lot of you up on the soapbox, my opinion is that people should enjoy what they have, and change habits/needs/hardware when their enjoyment suffers. We can't take money with us when we die, so we might as well spend it on whatever we like as long as our quality of life doesn't degrade. *steps down from soapbox and spends time outside... after playing Wii*
