It would be ideal to see at least one standalone BLU-RAY player for $299.99 - Blu-ray Forum

HDTV1080P · 10-30-2007, 04:59 PM

BLU-RAY sales might be good this Christmas season but they would be excellent if a BLU-RAY standalone player was priced $100 cheaper then the $399 PS3 machine. A $299 list price on a standalone 1080P BLU-RAY player would be ideal. For the DVD format several standalone players are half the price of the PS2 machine.

If they don't, they might discover that HD DVD will have a big holiday season.

And that might make them feel a little blue.”

Wasn't Funai supposed to come up with the inexpensive player? If so, Walmart more than likely will carry them.

Where's Daewoo with their cheap crap when you need them?

I thought cheap players were bad, why the rush to get them out?

doesn't LG do some low price hardware?

The price will come down once the format wars end....

i would never spend less then $400 for a Blu-Ray player especially during this format war because the more money you spend the better quality you will get plus the more money you spend on a blu-ray player the more support for blu-ray
