doing this after the holidays when many people just bought or received HD DVD players.
Yes, that's really disrespectful of their customers.
that's the whole point of doing it now..they don't really care about the consumers. big big business rarely does. By announcing this now MOST people that got HD DVD are still within the 30 days of most companies return policies. make a big announce that you've dropped one format, people panic (see AVS forum if you want to see panic and trampling) they all return their HD DVD players and buy a bluray because they've seen the hi Def they, don't care if they have to pay $500 because they NEED their hi def and don't want to keep the HD DVD player that will apparently explode in May sending hi def shrapnel all over their home.
