Blu-ray is the most wanted item this holiday season (link)

Great news for Sony, but do you think this will cause any change in the sales of ps3s? Ironically, I want the dark knight on blu-ray for Christmas as well.:)

What do you think will come of this?

I'm curious, who is selling $150 Blu-Ray players? Black Friday sales don't count. I'd love to know.

personaly i don't really think much about Blu-Ray, I think its a waste of money to be honest.

because soon I think in 2009 Toshiba is releaing a DVD player with top notch upscaling for large screens which really kills sony and their Blu-Ray stuff.
and it looks like the prices won't be that high.

I just wish the special features on them were alot better. One of TDK special features is called Batman Tech and i remember seeing that months ago on the discovery channel lol so i thought that was a bit lame. If companies start double dipping and releasing special edition blu rays months after initial release then i will be pretty mad.

They are buying Blu-Ray players not PS3's. For the consumer it's much easier to buy a $150 Blu-Ray player instead of a $399 PS3. So how does it help the PS3?LoseEagles1245

Gameslave, Target and Best Buy both have deals on Blu-Ray players for $169.LoseEagles1245

Well that's still $20 more than you previously said. People wanting blu-ray and wouldn't mind a game system for games like guitar hero will then buy a ps3 meaning more ps3 sales. Plus once Blu-ray becomes the norm people will be more willing to fork out the money for a ps3. Also Blu-ray is owned buy sony, more sales is means more revenues for sony.

$169 is still much cheaper than $399, and Sony doesn't own Blu-ray, the Blu-ray Disk Association does. Sony is a founding member but they don't own it.LoseEagles1245

Sony gets a percentage of each bluray sale.
