HD-DVD player prices went down after Blu-ray defections

Not so long ago many studios dropped HD-DVD as their format and made Blu-ray their standard high-definition format. Now that HD-DVD lost the battle of the studio's, Toshiba will now drop prices to still win the war or to make a last buck.

Personally I don't think this will work but prices of its 1080p HD-A3 player have dropped to below $140 via online retailer Amazon.com. Similarly, the 1080p HD-A30 is now priced at a little under $180.

Toshiba's move to cut prices comes not long after its price cut of the HD-A2 last November. The HD-A2 came under the magic price of $100. It seems that the retailers are dropping their since they don't have a believe in HD-DVD anymore. So the question is, when will the HD-A30 be less than $100?
