It says somewhere in the FAQ that they'll sell the items on ebay.
I can't imagine they'll be getting too many trade-ins, though, at those prices. Prices for some items didn't seem too bad, but others were insulting.

The bullshit part is they'll probably try to sell them for more than new ones cost now.
I bought a few HD DVD 360 add-ons last year...hoping some gift cards come my way.

Glad to see I didn't wait for Amazon. I was lucky to find an A35 for $150 - 10% off coupon at BB. Otherwise I would probably be still in your position, waiting for Amazon to drop their price. I have about $30 in credit/GCs there at the moment. I'll just find something else to spend it on.

ebay is 98% ripoff...but a deal can be found, if you are patient. I've gotten Syriana and FMJ Delux for less than $8 shipped (new) - and Arctic Tale (New) for about $12 shipped. But again, you have to be VERY patient to get any kind of a deal on ebay. It never ceases to amaze me what some people will pay for stuff ($15+shipping for movies available on-line all over for $12) People are idiots

Best Buy PM
I don't go to Best Buy a lot but I was in there last night and while I was browsing the HD DVD movies the Store Manager approached me and asked if I needed any help. I explained that some of the titles were listed for less than the 30% off on their website and asked if they would match their web price. He said "Of course, we will always match our website." As he was walking away I asked if they would match them even if they were sold out on line, he said, "If the price is on our website, we'll match it!" One employee even looked up 5 or 6 titles for me while I was there.
It sounds like those having problems at other BBs must be running into a bunch of jerks.

Bad news for us! Finally, there has been some movement on Amazon's price for the Toshiba HD-A35...however, the movement was on the upside from $239.77 to a whopping $299.99! What's going on? I thought these units were obsolete?

So, despite getting an A35 for $150, I'm still considering getting an XA2 for $300. But it's a refurb from ubid, so I'm not 100% sold on the prospect. I might just go back to Fry's and see if they have any A35 units left.

I might even sell my spare A30 and pick up an extra XA1.

The A35 is a better bang for the buck if you can find it new. I picked it up from tigerdirect for 169.00 shipped via 2-day delivery.
