Wal-Mart to sell $300 Blu-ray players

Comments

• people...do NOT buy any blu-ray player at any price that isn't at profile 2.0 unless the player has a way to update its firmware as new profiles are released. the one thing that HD DVD did right was it released a finished spec and players that could be updated as new versions were released. every early adopter of stand alone blu-ray players are stuck with an unfinished spec that was rushed out the door to compete with HD DVD. these $800+ players could not be updated and those guys are stuck with these players and have to buy another one if they want the latest blu-ray profile. don't be a sucker...this isn't even THAT low of a price.

• I believe the shot in the arm will be the profile 2.0 at $100.00 as it was last season for HD DVD. I'll try to make that prediction now...

• I bought a PS3 (80Gb) in Feb 08. Why?
  It's a game machine with more potential processing speed that X-Box or Wii.
  Its Blu-Ray players firmware is upgradeable to 2.0 and further thru the internet.
  
  All for $500 CDN. Why would I spend $500 on just a player? Posted by P.T., Canada
