The player prices are more counting here, I think.

These are "loss-leading" prices, intended to get people to buy the hardware and also compete with HD-DVD prices. The marketplace will eventually set prices, and don't be surprised if they go up later. It all depends on demand and supply.

Blue-ray is all about selling manufacturing and consumer hardware, nothing else.

Still to expensive. Alternative sources are going to have a field day with this, not even including the equipment prices. The days of the $30 + movies are long gone.

Basicly hold out until they adjust the price accordingly, we as a consumer can influence price.
