I put a bunch of my HD DVDs on Ebay last week and they sold for almost nothing, $5.50 for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for example. Thank God I didn't get around to selling my A3. At these prices, I'm a buyer, not a seller.

Why didn't you try to sell them here? Although, you have to admit, those 15 titles (freebies) have gotten a lot of mileage (most of us have most of those titles already). They only have so much value. I sold my new sealed doubles for $10 each (A few for $12), and was content with it. Could I have received more? Perhaps. But I was content with what I received, and the buyers were happy because they got a good deal (though, admittedly, $5.50 is a little low..but no use crying over spilled milk). I mean, I assume that was a "freebie." No second guessing here: I unloaded items I could not use, and got some cash for them. :)

The person on the other end of you sales is extremely happy though. At the prices HD DVD's are going for brand new, you should keep you HD DVD's and enjoy them. HD is HD whether or not it's HD DVD or Blu-ray. Visual quality aside, HD looks better to my wallet at 9.99 than 29.99. It's not like going from VHS to DVD. HD DVD and Blu-ray look identical. I don't care what fanboys on either side say, and believe me, I am 110% HD DVD. IMHO
