I thought I would post what I posted elsewhere:

Sony has announced that this Summer, they will release a standalone Blu-Ray player that will cost $600. It has all the features of the $999 model, except you'll be able to play CD's on this one.

Sony slashes Blu-ray price in line with PS3 // GamesIndustry.biz

What effect if any do you think this will have on people buying PS3s? Certainly one of the selling points was your buying a cheaper (in terms of price) Blu-ray player.

Wow. This is great! That is a huge price drop!

Wouldn't it be great if they slashed the price on the PS3, too?!

they wouldn't "slash" the price on the ps3, then the $600.00 blue-ray player wouldn't sell, becuase the PS3 would already have a blue-ray player.

Sony seems like it's trying to get the best of what they can from BLU-Ray. Suposedly too Sony is going to have a month where they're going to lower the price by about 20%. As far as I've seen, it's unconfirmed, but it would greatly increase the sales of Sony's BLU-Ray related items.

Have you seen a blu-ray movie? Not a waste of money!

Well get used to it, because they are going to replace DVDs soon.

I haven't sold a single BLU-Ray DVD player yet where I work, so it probably won't be until the price drops....a lot. Like....$900.
