Toshiba Subsidizes $200/Unit on New HD Player

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the making-it-up-in-volume dept.

WestTexasWaltz writes "According to a teardown analysis, Toshiba is losing $200 per unit, of its new HD DVD player, in order to gain some marketshare. Interesting that integrated circuits account for more of the cost than the drive itself. Also, this particular analyst concludes that Blu-ray and HD-DVD will "not be a repeat of VHS vs. Beta" and that a stalemate is the likely outcome."

    The only reason why you hate blu-ray is it has to do with Sony. The only reason why you apparently hate sony is the root kit. Oh, that's right, this is shitdot where everyone, including fucktard taco and his gay partner brokeback-neil, hates capitalism in any way shape and form. Anything that has to do with capitalism is evil, but yet communism like Linsux and open-sores is somehow good. Watch, the fucktard that made the original post will eventually get modded up to +5 by other fucktarded shitdot sheeple. I think linsux and open-sores shitware should be outlawed in every country and the countries that don't comply should be bombed into oblivion.
