Walmart pushing blu-ray


I'm watching the NFL on Fox and there have been a number of Walmart commercials solely pushing blu-ray players. Walmarts considerable weight behind the format is certainly good news for the future of the format.

Wow, what a lot of pre qualifying. The price of admission is under $200 for incredible picture and sound. Add another $800 and you might be able to see a marginal difference between players but who cares it's just HT. If there's a cost hike it would be in outfitting to 7.1. Depending on your existing system, two more speakers and a modern coded HDMI receiver/pre with room correction and of course the two hundred dollar player.

I have a small HT area and the addition of the side speakers and room correction make this little space sound huge.

What I don't understand is how the cost of the BD disk drives the purchase of the player. I own a few films but I almost never watch them again and again. Why would anybody buy and collect this stuff?
