LG's BD300 Netflix / Blu-ray deck ships next month for $399.95 {Engadget}
Sep 4th 2008 1:57AM Plus, it's free if you have their dvd rental program already that's 8.99 or above, so why not. :)
LG's BD300 Netflix / Blu-ray deck ships next month for $399.95 {Engadget}
Sep 3rd 2008 9:09PM I always thought the sweet spot pricing was "sub-$200". Where are those? Why are the prices increasing instead? I have yet to hear a name-brand (Sharp, Panasonic, Philips, Sony, LG, Samsung) releasing even a sub-$300 BD player.
I Am Legend Ultimate Collectors Edition Blu-ray double-dips December 9 {Engadget HD}
Sep 2nd 2008 7:51PM Double-dips are the "ultimate" rip-off. Most studios come out with double-dips, triple-dips, or even quadriple-dips to fill the gaps in product releases because they can't produce enough quality new movies.
Engadget & Joystiq live from Sony's E3 2008 keynote {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 5:03PM "MS partnering with Netflix and Sony partnering directly with all major producers to rend movies and buy them at exactly the same price. Looks like no one wins here."
That's incorrect. MS has Live Marketplace ALREADY with new announcement of Universal and NBC partnership for movie rentals and downloads PLUS Netflix streaming. MS wins here.
CE-Oh no he didn't! Part LVII: Howard Stringer says the Wii is not 'a competitor' {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2008 11:40AM When I decided to get a console in November 2006, it was either a Wii or a PS3. I went with the wii, because it was the 'less expensive' one and had more games I wanted. So I totally do not understand what Howard is saying. Just because it doesn't play blurays so it's not a competitor? Then what's a 360? It doesn't play blu-rays either. Based on his comments, it seems like if it doesn't play games AND play bluray AND go online, it's not a competitor. That dismisses the Wii, the 360, and every existing standalone bluray player in existence as the PS3's competitor.
Here's a good one:
PS3 Speaking: "I like to look in the mirror and admire how great I am, and then I realized the image in my mirror is my competitor!!!!"
(And yes, I do have all 3 consoles, but Howard's statement just shows how ignorant Sony's CEO can be.)

Jul 15th 2008 11:28AM Hhahahaa. I can't help but laugh. It's not a competitor because it doesn't play bluray movies?? The 360 doesn't either! So wait, is he comparing PS3 as a bluray player not being a competitor to wii, because it can't be comparing the PS3 gaming to a wii. 2 identities, so for comparison, he chose the secondary identity of the PS3 as a bluray player only because it's the only identity that's winning.
Warner Bros. International isn't planning for BD-Live in '08 {Engadget HD}
Jul 11th 2008 11:48AM Import??? Did I hear import for bluray? Well, it may work as long as WB does not implement region lock.
Blu-ray players to outsell DVD decks by August? Not likely. {Engadget HD}
May 28th 2008 4:38PM Wait...I thought most profile 2.0 players won't be available till AFTER August...so why are people in a rush to even buy a $350-$500 profile 1.1 player when dvd players cost $35?
More research asserts that Blu-ray adoption isn't apt to surge soon {Engadget HD}
May 14th 2008 4:45PM Oh cool. I'm 10 years younger than you but I guess I'm on par with your 6 figures imcome. :) But I still think bluray is too expensive.

May 7th 2008 10:47AM Is it just me, or instead of seeing prices drop, we're seeing prices head the other way?
