Really?  That's strange.  At the beginning of the year the BR adoption rate was dramitcally higehr than DVD's rate.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

I have yet to see a blue-ray player that cheap.  Cheapest i see at bestbuy is $200  (Refurbished)

 

edit: nevermind walmart has one for $169

Crap brand name though (magnavox)

 

I think next year, we will see brand name blue-ray players at $150

I think Point x is refering to the Blu Ray codecs that are developed by MS...

I don't know the whole story, or even if MS gets any money from Blu Ray's sold (or players)...

This actually isn't great news for the PS3.

Now that Blu-Ray standalones are cheap, people are simply just opting to pick up a standalone unit more and more. You'll never run into the headache of wanting to watch a movie while your kid is playing some video game either (convergence isn't always convenient).

I fail to see how this could possibly be considered good news for Sony.

The increase in stand-alone player sales is smaller than the drop in PS3 sales, which means that overall Blu-ray player sales are down compared to last year. That is terrible news for a format struggling to win mainstream acceptance.
