Halved by 2008 is a little bit disappointing theyre pretty much saying that itll take them a year to get to TODAYS HDDVD prices. So is the Blu-ray camp just praying that HDDVD prices stay at the half grand mark? With all the manufacture support that the Blu-ray side is always touting shouldnt it be competitive today
IseWise,
Technically yes it is the cheapest Blu-ray player, but in practicality, the Samsung unit is probably more realistic considering that anyone who wants a PS3 will either have to jump through hoops for a chance at ownership or cough up to 2 grand for it on ebay.
If those numbers are accurate and current, Im kind of disappointed. Shouldnt that be closer to million?
Dont forget that the X360 HDDVD drive is also out. Every PS3 is not necessarily a score for Blu-ray (its only a potential score) while every X360 HDDVD drive is a score for HDDVD (rather theyre used with the X360 or with a standard computer like some have figured out).

I don't see how you can say that every PS3 is not a score for Blu-Ray, I believe all the launch consoles came w/ Talladega Night: The Ballad of Rick Bobby, and lets not forget that every game is on a Blu-ray disc. Recently everyone has been talking about the games for the PS3 but it is a functionally Blu-Ray player, and people will realize this and start buying Blu-Ray movies. As for the HD DVD add on for the Xbox 360, first of all add ons have never gone well for consoles, and as far I as I know no one is camping out to get one of those, plus I'm sure that the PS3 sales are killing the HD DVD add on sales.
