Every Blu Ray player Starts at Around 400$ vs a HD DVD player that you could easily pick up at around 200$
I wanted to buy Nacho Libre the movie for my Kids again the Blu Ray Disc was 32.99$ vs the Hd Dvd version at 23.99$ and the cheapest Blu Ray Disc
I saw was priced at 26.99$
Seeing that Sony has won the Format war How long should I wait for Sony to bring down their prices ? Do you think by spring time we'll have Blu Ray players at 200$ .
Or do you think Sony is just going to Milk the prophits seeing there's no competition ?

Thanks
Again

I don't want to sound like a jerk but it seems to me that you are just spreading some hd fud. Sure prices will come down in the future and the cost of movies will too but for now if you want to enjoy great pq and sq you'll have to fork over some dough. There are many early adopters here that gladly spent over a thousand dollars for a blu ray player when introduced and many who payed full msrp for the first 60gig ps3. My point is it going to cost you money don't expect to pay less than 200 dollars for at least a year.
