Blu-ray Player Prices Hit 2008 Highs

Posted by Zonk on from the them's-some-prices-right-there dept.

An anonymous reader writes "HD DVD is almost gone and Blu-ray prices are already on their way up. TG Daily went through average retail prices of some of the popular Blu-ray players and found that you should expect to pay at least $400 for an entry-level Blu-ray player, while you could get a player for less than $330 in February. It really should not be a surprise for all of us, but it is interesting to see how quickly retail adjusted to the new situation and increased prices."

    Well, if people weren't such "the JOnes' got it!" retards, and simply said "Well, we'll wait until prices came down" those prices would crash.

    As it is, I don't understand it, as there's so little real advantage for most people until they upgrade all of their home entertainment system. Quite frankly, I'll happily wait another year or two, and let all these mentally retarded early adopters waste their money. Fucking idiots.

    Some advice to the Blu-Ray camp: You still haven't convinced us to buy, and raising prices ain't gonna help things. Some advice to the cheap-ass camp: You ain't an us. I pay my nanny more than $400 a week.
