I meant Sony's $600 Blu Ray player that they call a PS3

Of course you did, because it had nothing to do with the topic and you just wanted to get a cheap shot in that obviously has nothing to do with reality.  There are already cheaper blu-ray players out there.  The PS3 does happen to be a fantastic blu-ray player.

Sony is ready to enter a price war as well.  Considering Toshiba players already MSRP for $399, I really think people are overestimating a $299 price point.  $200 might be a different story.  Just because the player is cheap doesn't mean HDTV's are cheap either, which kind of skews the whole adoption of the masses simply because of price theory.  That is the big difference between this format and DVD.  DVD was fully functional on any TV, where as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD lose functionality on older TV's. 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Yeah, Resistance and Motorstorm suck.  Or not.  Stop trolling.

Details emerge.  Likely Walmart to sell it at $199, HD-DVD player.  Indeed "blue light" refers to the blue laser diode, not "blu-ray".



the Wii is an epidemic.
