Comments on: Are Blu-ray prices dropping faster than expected?

Blu-ray prices may drop by $100 soon. It seems a little faster than anticipated.

HD-DVD Price Cuts

For what its worth, on CNBC this morning they had a story about
Walmart cutting prices a bit early for the Christmas season. The
story focused on a couple of products being discounted including a
Toshiba HD-DVD player being sold for $99.99. It would seem
Sony et al have a ways to go in terms of price.

Who Cares?

Wake us up when one format wins - or the warring kids allow combo players to reach sensible prices.

Until that day, only fools with more money than sense will bother.

Nighty-night zzzzzZZZzzz

Agreed

What's really sad is that we have to buy two different players at the present time (or a super-expensive combo player) in order to be assured that we'll be able to purchase and play any given new release in a hi-def format. Forgive me (and millions of other people) for not being all that interested in slapping down nearly $1,000 for a machine that will play movies on our televisions.

Blu-Ray is ALMOST a year old, PS3 released last November

The article is incorrect.

The PS3, which was the first Blu-Ray player to hit retail shelves, is ALMOST a year old.

Not two years old as the article states.

Current Blu-Ray pricing is YEARS ahead of SD DVD pricing based on SD DVD being almost a year old [1997] & still priced above $500 per SD DVD player
