Since the WB announcement, all BD 1.0 SALs have gone up in price ~$100.

They need to liquidate these players and bring in the 1.1's

This is the reason I will never buy a brand new bluray player.

If I'm ever forced to purchase blu it'll be a used machine because I don't support such business practices.

Wait, so they get a major new studio and then raise the price?

Talk about letting HDDVD off the ropes.

I think its possible but they didn't show any link to any actual statement or ad showing that the prices indeed went up so not believing it yet.

My thoughts also, talk about a bunch of over confident punk B***h bastards!!!

Go to Amazon, no more sub 300 dollar blu's. Expect to get no more blu movie deals either.

And people were thinking that DVD was going to keep dominating... Now this will show them, a real treat for the customers! :P

B***h means? o.O

Also yeah, any proof of this? It seems very random.

Looks like the PS3 is back to being the cheapest available blu ray player then...w00t?

dont worry about it. If you paid any attention to the CES press events today there has been new players announced that range from $350 for low-end to $700 for high-end which is surprisingly cheap for high-end.

Also Sony is releasing a sub $200 PC drive. Any price increases right now isnt from the CE companies its retailers being dicks.

All you did was link to some random guy making a claim. What bullshit.
