Remember, this was a technology that people were supposed to rush out and buy after Blu-ray won the HD format battle with HD-DVD.
Another prediction that Blu-ray player prices would drop below $250 by Thanksgiving was judged three months early after one model hit $249.47 (with a rebate). How low can prices go for the players? This morning, another reader pointed us to news that models by Sony and Samsung are selling for less than $200, including shipping.
Uhhh, has it occurred to anyone that the reason Blu-ray disks haven't taken off is because they still cost twice as much as a regular DVD? Who cares how cheap the player gets?
