BDA..Sony..Anybody - Lower your prices

J6P doesnt have an HDTV either.

You guys need to get real. The amount of people "on the fence" really isnt that big.

Cheaper player prices will help, dont get me wrong, but theres no way Bluray players will ever match HDDVD players in price. Player makers want to make money that being said a small decreases in price could/should be expected, especially on 1.0 players (they should definitely put all of those on clearance) but unfortunately I get the feeling that they wont until all companies have their 1.1s out (I get a big sense of collusion from the BDA CE companies)

Oh and giving away BD players with tvs is a great idea, and ive seen it done already. Free samsung BD player with any samsung larger than 46" was going on a while ago. Also ive seen sony bundles (HDTV, PS3, HTIB, free movies and free games) for between 500-1000 off the retail price in-store. If they keep that up (and if panasonic and pioneer jump in too) that will make a huge difference.
