Also, don't expect prices to come back down anytime soon. So far it looks like we MAY see prices down to $299 by Q4 08, and down to $199 by Q4 09 (this is what sony says anyways). It would drop a lot sooner if they licensed the technologies to other manufacturers who were willing to produce cheaper players.
Also, as noted in the article, none of these players are worth anything because within a year there is a decent chance you won't be able to watch the new movie you want to because you can't update the firmware.
I'm rather sad that blu-ray won because of the way they treat their customers. You shouldn't be obsoleting someones hardware after they spent $1000 on first generation players. I never had to upgrade my DVD players firmware, and I shouldn't have to upgrade any newer players either.
My father still things he can get a Blu-ray player for
