Sony's Blu-ray DVD player will drop 20 percent or more in price this holiday season to less than $400 from $499.99 now, Stan Glasgow, president of Sony Electronics, said Thursday.
CORRECTION: Glasgow said Sony's Blu-ray player prices will fall to a rock-bottom of $400, not less. See alternative sources.
I'm a big time supporter of Blu-ray and have now bought over 26 movies, as of yesterday. I've had a single player Blu-ray for about 4 months now too. I wouldn't midn getting the cheaper 40 gig Ps3 for another one for downstairs, either. If it's not Direct Downloads, Blu-ray is my choice of format. Simple as that. I'll be right there to buy up any and everything blu-ray as long as we have a media to contend with. I'm still awaiting the day for everything to go download only, though. That's going to be killer.
Silly Xbots still pretending the dead HD-DVD format is relevant.
Here's the real headline(de-Xbotized):
"BluRay drive manufacturing prices continue to plummet leading to cheaper PS3 and standalone prices"
If peoples have any brain cell just get the freakin 40gb ps3.
I been trying to find out but have gotten mixed answers.
EDIT: Is there a date for release? Are they gonna release it separately or package it with the console?
@gamesblow - Do you know why Blu-ray took the lead from HD DVD? do you think is because of technology or because blu-ray supports 2160P? Both formats are relative the same in terms of what they can do... at least as far as the stream consumer can tell.
But do you know why? Yes.... the PS3. The PS3 offered the cheapest entry into the HD world.... look at around now... back when the PS3 was introduced HD DVD were more expensive than the PS3 itself... today.... stand alone HD players (including blu-ray players) are starting to get cheaper than consoles... anyone wanting to buy an HD player and do not care about games... do not have to buy a console...
the PS3 is no longer a big factor in the format war...
"Silly Xbots still pretending the dead HD-DVD format is relevant." sadly... lemmings... are still pretending that $400 vs $99 is irrelevant...
