Richmond (CA) - Standalone HD DVD players as low as $80 and free movie offers are just the beginning of what will be a massive clearing out of stock of the failed format over the next several weeks.
Circuit City is the first major retailer to cut prices on HD DVD hardware and software. Toshiba's HD-A30 is now available for just under $130, a $70 cut from what its price was two months ago.
"We are in clearance mode, and we expect to go through the remaining inventory in the next few weeks," said Circuit City spokesperson Jim Babb in a Video Business article.
"The end of the format conflict will mean people can invest with a lot more confidence in gear that they know will be useful for years to come," said Babb.
