Sis said:It may have to do with market research. If Blu-ray drives are seen as being a better value to the consumer then the consumer may be willing to pay more to be an early adopter. Likewise, given HD-DVD's lack of studio backing, they may need to give financial incentive to lure in buyers.
Regardless, I doubt either HD-DVD or Blu-ray manufacturers are taking a loss.

Yeah, I'd be inclined to agree with this since the announcements so far are pointing towards it.
I would bet there are a couple curve balls to come though.
CES is turning out to be very unpredictable!
