Oh, man - and I just bought my BD35K @ Costco...
Bozster @ Jan 7th 2009 8:52PM
Don't worry these will probably be in the $400-$1000 price range.

Don't feel too bad - the bd35k is becoming rare to the point of being scalped on eBay like the nintendo Wii. I've been searching tenaciously for one for a few weeks and there seem to be none left anywhere near me. If you really want to upgrade you'll be able to sell yours good-used for some good $$.

Panasonic had a problem with the chip manufacturer who supplied them with needed components for the BD-35k and BD-55k, so they decided to scrap the whole thing and focus on these models. That is why they are scarce. Now given the fact that this may be their newest product line, it is also their only BD product line, considering they discontinued the two products people loved and are now scalping on amazon. That being said, I would have to disagree that these will be much more than the previous models for long. Otherwise people will just buy Sony's PS3 or standalone models. Either way competitive pricing is the name of the game.
