I can see one reason why someone would still buy a $100 standard DVD player when faced with $199, $149, or even $99 HD-Disc: They don't know about the players, or they don't know the difference.
Like I noted in the show, the employees are doing a **** poor job informing their customers. That guy looking at the Blu-ray player would have walked out with an HD-DVD player if the blue shirt had done his job.
We need to fill in and spread the word, and I'm not just saying about HD-DVD, but HD-Disc in general. Keep in mind though, that plenty of our friends and relatives will be stocking up on $30 DVD players this Christmas, and for them HD won't matter. That's a fact that needs to be accepted.
