Where are the 299$/E blu-ray players? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Quicker way would be to give George Lucas some cash incentive to release Star Wars on blu-ray. That would end this stinking format war quicker than a light saber through soft cheese.

This may surprize some here

- but there are products that offer superior performance, features, and advanced functionality that will cost a little bit more to enjoy, over other products. There are some realities you must wake up too, like your not going to see Baskin-Robins Ice Cream at your grocery store price, why? . . . . quality ingredients cost more to achieve that wonderful experience. Negoiate well, wait on the season of sales, but be prepared to pay for quality, if you expect quality! [Jim]

I wasnt trying to get on anyone but like you really do get a ton of quality via blu-ray, and it seems saving an extra 90-120$ isnt and shouldnt be a problem for anyone really looking to take the next step into hd. for the bargin bin shopping go with the 100$ toshit player that wont even work come next year since all the disks will change, I'm sure blu-ray will have some great deals on players these coming months, but remember you get what you pay for 100$ players buy you a small amount of quality for a few months thats about it... I dont think any blu-ray supporter would be happy to see our company screwing people over like that trying to turn a buck.

If Panasonic launches DMP-BD30 in Europe too i will reconsider my opinion of the expensive blu-ray hardware......
