All players have been marked down.

oh, Its really not hard to type Blu-ray into a search bar.


 If you actually click on the price link you'd see those marked down prices are on used models.


 im sorry but no.. they give a price of 260 for used on the page I linked. The mark down is actually Amazon;s price.

Meh, this just means people will keep buying DVD.

You do realize that Blu-Ray players were on sale for 399 back on Black Friday? And regularly priced $499 at the time? They were put on sale for $299 right before Christmas, and now they're in the middle at $350-400. That's not really raising the price.

 The Samsung sold NEW from Amazon is only $338, and the Sony is only $369.  Yup, nothing over $399. *rolls eyes*

 True, true, most people I know didn't even care when I told them about the 99 dollar hd-dvd sale at wal-mart. And never even heard of blu-ray
