Ho ho ho high-def fans! On the brink of the holiday shopping season, Target has announced its intentions to stuff your A/V cabinet, stockings and any other empty space with a few Blu-ray players. The word is that the retailer is dropping its player prices.
It seems the Olevia BD-110, which has us pondering about price yesterday, is one of those options. Supposedly, Target will have it for the $229 price. They also have the Philips BD-P7200 for $250, which is $100 less than the MSRP.
Home Media Magazine says that the move has a lot to do with the current credit crunch. People are also expected to have a lot less cash in hand this holiday season. Lowering the prices might sway shoppers to finally make the leap to Blu-ray, or at least share the high-def magic for the holidays.
Are you planning to buy a Blu-ray player this season? For you, or as a gift? Also, what price will entice you to buy? Sound off in the comments section below!
I am not so much concerned about the players, like the majority, I agree that the prices of Blu-Ray discs need to come down. $30 is just too much for a movie. I have no choice other than to buy if I really want it to take advantage of HD.
Blu Ray movies are over-priced just like the hardware. Give me $5 to $10 HD DVD’s any day.
Blu-ray/Xbox is the way I’m going...hopefully it will happen.
I said that when the players drop to 250 or below, I would consider one. But, brand and quality are factors....as well as disc prices! They need to drop to the 15 or below mark!

Blu Ray is the way to go but I hate the PS3 players go Panny all the way I also hated the HD dvd player even before they decided to drop out. $20 movies or below is the best
