Blu Ray over/under $


Sony announced the release of a blu ray DVD player for this summer along with some disc releases. What's your guess of how much it will cost upon intial release? How much would you pay to get one or would you get one at all?

We are full of expectations all the time. What will happen in the future will be about money. It does not matter if it has backing of big companies.... what matters is, after all the hooplaaaa blueray or HD DVD it will still defend of the market response. It does not matter what audiophiles decide.... it will be the decision of the mass market,that is where the money is.

Our economy is very different now, before you can develop a product and sell it in the market place and wallaaaa!! every body will pick it up. NOW it is what you call market base economy, where all the marketing decision will come from the users and not for the few. It is the needs of the market that those guys are looking and not what the manufacturers want to sell. In the Audiophile world..it is different.

Those companies did not developed that technology for us ... but for the mass market.

The reason why they have that at CES is for the mass market again not for us.... so I think what we have to do is wait and wait and wait and may be listen to our music instead of our equipments.
Rysa4, CES is not for all but this is one of the big show out there that the manufacturers can have some feedback from almost all the segment of the market. From media to just technology savvy consumers but not really audiophiles. It is fun to see anyway. Thanks again Rysa4.
Rysa - I am just talking about the Blue-ray subject. I do not miss any CES so we are on the same page. But the Blue ray is in the south hall and not at St Tropez and Alexis park that means.... they are still trying to get the feel of everything.

That what happens to a new Plasma and LCD TV. What we do is take it to SID ( Society of information Display show) and just let all the manufacturers, enginneers, Scientist, reviewers, investors and media watch and gather some info. Once this is well recieved then we go for the next show which is CES and get some more feedback with the larger market segment which includes of course sellers and thier relatives and friends.
Thanks again Rysa4.
