I would expect the Bogos and free players with HDTV's to continue up until next holiday. This why I think so:

A)Everyone has a DVD player and there is no point on pushing that on anyone, or an upscaling DVD player which is pointless imo because it looks like shit.

B)HDTV's will be at there lowest this holiday season along with Blu ray players.

Sony also has the opportunity to set the next format for the next generation with the ps4 and so on. Whats different from last time is that instead of doing it on their own they got support from a shetload of other studios and developers.

Go Blu or Go home!

DVD was a single standard too. And DVD prices came down from their initial premiums it in spite of no “competitor”. An industry standard (Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, LP’s, etc) and a monopoly are two very different things.

Given the quality of existing Sammy Blu-Ray players, why would you want one?]]>Feb 18th 2008 4:09PM
