Yes, prices are falling fast on both sides. 3.5 months ago a PS3 cost $599 now $399.

However, that is sadly the risk when you enjoy consumer electronics.

That's too true Henning. It's just that I bought mine in December. But by then Warner hadn't switched and I didn't have a worry in the world.

Prices normally fall as production methods improve and economies of scale are realized. But one also has to realize that 6 movies @ $20 sale price each = $120. $120 - $80 (for player) = $40 free. Obviously other factors are at work here. It's CE history when manufacturers actually pay you $40 for taking their products off their hands.

However... the six free movies are the one free movie with the player and the 5 free movies deal.

either way... From what I understand Microsoft only made one, large batch of HD-DVD Add-ons... Originally the movie and Remote were "Limited Time Only" Deals. Well they've been sitting on the stock for... 2 years?

Anyway... don't quote me on that... For all I know I could have been fed misinformation.

In retrospect however, My deal was better.... I got 9 Free movies. 4 out of the box and 5 from Tosh/Microsoft. I hit up the "Buy the HD-DVD Add on, and get the Bourne Trilogy for free!" Offer in December. Great deal.

EDIT:

WHOA! It looks like the price reverted back to 179.99...
