Gosh, I should be paid for giving this type of needed advice on this forum!

I own both formats and I gladly paid $300+ for my HD A35 and $400+ for my PS3. In the long run, you save a TON of samolies and grief by waiting for everything to come out on DVD, BD or HD DVD and watching them at home, rather than blowing coin at the theater with sticky floors and lice-infested seats. The quality of picture and sound is better at home anyway!!!

View profile »That's quite possible, since home theater and movies aren't an important hobby to everyone. For most people it's probably a past time, and some would rather spend $500 on a silly golf club instead like my friend did!
Going forward, market forces and demand, along with economies of scale and technological and production advancements will influence Blu-ray player prices. It's the way it works - it's the way it's always worked with new CE technology. However, since those of us who own HDTVs are still a minority, it's probably priced just fine at this stage of its life-cycle and target demographic. We don't have to target the "masses" all at once. Toshiba tried this theory by heavily subsidizing players and it predictably didn't work.

Oh and the only reason it didn't work was because of Warner and the domino effect that caused!
Anyway we've been through this before.

View profile »Then, when you see the regular BD sales (mainly online), for titles with net prices of $9 to $20, you might want to build a collection slowly with select sale-priced titles.
This way, you get to enjoy Blu-ray Hi-Def content now, rather than waiting for a year or two for players to drop a few hundred dollars ($200 to $300). Note: if you have a Best Buy card, I belive they automatically offer 6-months/0% financing for purchases over $300.
After you've been enjoying HD for awhile, you don't want be without it.

When you make the switch, watch it on BD.
You're waiting for the new Panny aren't you?
