Player prices are starting to come down. Saw a Sylvania unit at BJ's today for $199.

 

still not worth it...

no point in supporting an overpriced format...

I expected you to say something like that with you being being a HD-DVD supporter. I'd rather support , what you call, an over-priced format than a dead one. lol

Actually blu-ray isn't overpriced at all. Players and discs are coming down in price all the time. Its only been out for a couple of years and prices are about in line with what DVD was when that format came out. I can remember when DVD's were almost £30 when they first came out. My first DVD player was £250 and that was a few years after the format came out. Blu-Ray players can be found for under £200 now. Up until a couple of years ago double disc edition DVD's were still priced at around £19 and Blu-rays are already around that price now and even cheeper, so Blu-Ray is actually better value now compared to when DVD's first came out.
