Stuff like this makes me laugh at people who say Blu-Ray will fail.

It's not doing great right now, but just wait until they're at $149 average. Some will be $100...and they'll sell like hotcakes. Then, so will the discs.

I'd get it if I didn't already have a $600 Blu-Ray player.....lol=P

Maybe they say that because there are $20 dvd players that the general consumer is perfectly happy with.  Plus the fact that the general consumer can get dvds for like $8 instead of paying $15 or whatever for blu ray.  And before you come back saying the difference in quality bear in mind that I am talking about the average shopper, move watcher and not someone who is a technology and/or Sony lover which make up a much smaller proportion of the world

 

 

The general public who buys $20 dvd players are morons - and they probably think that to themself before they buy it.  They also know the player has 0% reliability and will break in less than a year.  These players are only bought for their children - I don't know anyone, including the 'technologically challenged' that have such cheap DVD players.

The only $8 DVD's are old as hell.  You won't find new ones for that price.

The only $15 Blu-Rays are...well, are there any $15 Blu-Rays??  Hmm..

The better comparison there is $20-$30 DVD-BluRay.

 

Don't see how you can determine how a person spends their money and whether they are wise or foolish for spending it on something.  There are probably more people in the world that think a person who spends $600 on a games console is a moron than there are people who think a person who spends $20 on a dvd player is a moron.  And so what if it breaks within a year?  It will still come with a 1yr warranty and even if it does not or breaks after the end of the warranty period you can just buy another one at about the price of a blu ray movie or a meal for 2 at burger king
