I voted for the 360, since I have a Wii and $219 for a unit that's only short a hard drive isn't too bad at all.

Didn't "win" though.

The two most surprising to me are:

1. the Wii - I thought the price for the ps3 was amazing.

2. HD-DVD winning over Blu-Ray.

I got a "2nd place" offer of $219 for the xbox 360 - seems like a decent deal - does everyone who didn't win automatically get the 2nd place offer on the item they voted for?

Yeah, I voted for the PS3, and didn't receive the deal for $319

I hope I have more luck with the hd-dvd player

I don't think HD-DVD "won". What happened is that it got a slight edge at the begining of the voting, and people started to vote on it because it was ahead, regardless of whether they wanted it or not.

I voted on all items that were ahead, even If they weren't my first choice.

Or it could just be that a Blu-ray player was in two categories. So vote for the PS3 in one and HD-DVD in the other. Best of both worlds.
