The dramatic price-cut puts the 1080p BD machine head to head with Toshiba’s recently reduced 1080i HD DVD format HD-E1.

Interesting,
I wonder what price point the reworked 1st gen Panasonic will come in at now - that's the unit I've been keeping an eye on.

I keep tabs with the staff at my local Richer's and they have hardly sold any of the Samsungs.

I was just trying to be diplomatic

In fact, here's a link to their total stock. I went into the shop in Guildford a few months ago and they had them stacked to the ceiling...
