| averyblund said: I can't really blame you at those prices. The SD TV also makes BD fairly pointless. For me it made sence $110 12x LG BD-burner and $1.70 (25GB) discs off of NewEgg is pretty unbeatable- even by HDD's which seem to burn out at an insane rate these days. Not that BD is for everybody, if you have no need for the benefits of a disc based medium, or want to run a media server then obviously a harddrive is a better choice. But if you want to archive, transport over to watch on a friends PS3 or player, or just want damn near the cheapest cost per gig its a darn good choice. |
Yes, at those prices it would be a lot more attractive, but here retailers are still too greedy, and the fact that two of the biggest chains of electronics and appliances megastores are owned by the same German company, while their competitors are either smaller or financially less healthy, doesn't help competition (online stores, even the biggest, don't have the buying power of these megastores, so the best offers for mass produced items are almost always found advertised only on brick and mortar stores leaflets). And my town is a lot more expensive than Italian average, and going shopping in another region would mean spending most of the saved money for fuel and highway toll, not even considering the risk of finding the best offers sold-out.
