BD NEEDS a sub $300 player and the closer to $200 the better.

Why? HD DVD has been less than $250 for months and has fallen behind BD stand-alone sales. How does driving a bunch of people who are only willing to spend $250 on a player get $20-$40 discs sold?!

Bottom line, anyone so price sensitive that $250 is a sale when $400 is not, will not be a factor in disc sales.
