Default Anybody else notice lack of connections?

Hey, it's me, Trale Lewous (anybody catch the reference??)

Anyway, has anybody else noticed that you can't really find a bluray player under $200 with component output??

I was recently out buying a bluray player for my church projection system and needed component AND HDMI output, I tried online, local stores and couldn't find one. They all only have 1 HDMI output now.

2 Years ago I bought a Sony BD-S370 for $79.99 and it has HDMI, Component AND Composite outputs.

Whats the deal?!?!?! I understand players are coming down in price dramatically, but I paid $80 and got 3 outputs!

Analog sunset. Non-HDMI outputs are limited to 480p now. So, there isn't much point to them any more. Multichannel analog inputs are also disappearing from AVRs since HDMI takes care of most high resolution audio needs.

BIslander is correct.

Here is an article for more information on Analog Sunset. It's funny this 'happened' like 1-2 years ago and only now people are noticing because they buy new players and wonder, 'Where is the Component output?"

Even before HDMI, I always had a hard time finding components with multichannel analog outputs. A few pricier DVD Audio players here and there, but most had optical outputs. At the time I only had a system with analog inputs, and could not afford to upgrade, so I had to be resourceful.
