Ummm.....the secret to lower priced players is higher demand. The demand just isn't there. I don't see demand being very high at all in the general public. It may be there someday when more TELEVISION is shot and delivered in HD and more people have real HD set-ups in their homes but right now it's not there. I just went Blu on the LCD and love it. Already did the whole HD-DVD thing and it's still very useful based on the titles and amount of titles I purchased during the fire sale. I record clear-qam whenever possible and sometimes I even purchase HD content from XBOX Live. The cost to get where I am today is not something most people can comprehend or deal with and it has to do with a lot more than the $199 I spent on the recent Blu player purchase. Surround sound, HDMI cables, coax cable, XBOX 360, XBOX 360 HD drive, the LCD TV and the movies themselves all add up very quickly...Q
