"Sea Biscuit" was the only title I thought about buying. I saw a $15 price tag on "pre-Black" Friday. Two days later I walk into a different Wal-Mart and they were all back up to $25-30 (and $299 A2s !). Even $20 may not be a compelling price for catalog titles when the same titles are available for $5 on DVDs.

Also, I like my lossless audio tracks which is sorely lacking on HD DVDs... Maybe the classic movies will be alright without it but no excuses for the more recent Blockbusters. Not that the mass market would care.
