You guy's thought the PS3 was expensive.

The first portable blu-ray player is surfacing and boy is it not cheap. And people said the PS3 as a whole was expensive.

Product summary

The good: Lets you watch your Blu-ray collection on-the-go; HDMI output for use as a standalone player; full access to YouTube and Picasa if connected via Ethernet; comes with cigarette lighter adapter and headrest mount for car use.

The bad: Very expensive, with Blu-ray-equipped laptops available at similar prices; bulky design; short 2.5 hour battery life; small screen limits the capability to see the full detail of Blu-ray; can't output a standard 1080p signal; less reliable playback than standalone players.

The bottom line: The Panasonic DMP-B15 is the world's first portable Blu-ray player and can function as a standalone player too, but ultimately it has too many caveats and costs too much.

With this economy I wonder why people build stuff :(

I can totally see myself taking one of them everywhere I go.

Meh, why would you want a portable BR player? I can only speak for myself but I want to take advatage of it with a big screen. Way too overpriced too. killerfist

Panasonic should not be surprised when they sell exactly zero of that particular product.

pfffft, neo geo, neo geo cd, jaguar, 3d0, these consoles were expensive for their time (mid early 90's and $400-$600 for just the system)

the ps3 was the cheapest bluray player when it first launched

Thats why I bought a Ps3,
