What the HELL is up with Blu Ray

From what I've heard, Blu-ray drives are anywhere between $50-$100 to produce, and constantly falling. This holiday, there will be $99 BD players on the market.

 

Hmm, that's going to be quite the drop in price in ~6 months time.  I'm assuming these will be small time companies making junk players like the Norcent's and other cheap DVD player makers of the world if that's the case.  Seeing a Blu-Ray player at $199 in Canada is a hot deal.  Check out current pricing:
