Blu-ray Player Price Drop Hits Costco
Player Price Drop Hits Costco
Quote:
|
they had the Sony BDP-BX1 for $279.99 (was $379.99). Costco also had the Samsung BD-P1500 at the new Price of $249.99 (was $349.99).....................Costco has an Unlimited return policy on DVD/BD player (90days on TVs) and will refund you the difference if they lower the price in a resonable amount of time (90days).

Re: Blu-ray Player Price Drop Hits Costco
I'm holding out for the new Panasonic DMP-BD35 (MSRP $299) which I'm hoping comes in even cheaper than $279.99 via online retailers. Either way prices are bound to be good on players toward the end of the year.
DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!

Re: Blu-ray Player Price Drop Hits Costco
It will be interesting to see at what price the Oppo Blu-ray player (seen at CEDIA) debuts at when it is released.

Re: Blu-ray Player Price Drop Hits Costco
Sam's Club has the Sony BDP-S301 for $217.
I think I remember reading that there's a firmware update for it, that will allow it to decode dtsHD MA internally, so you can send it to older receivers over the 5.1 analog outputs.

Re: Blu-ray Player Price Drop Hits Costco
I think pricing is all relative.
I bought my Sony 300 over a year ago for around $400.
I've been able to enjoy spectacular HD Blu Ray movies for over a year. I know a lot of people are holding out, but at what point are you denying yourself the enjoyment of this wonderful looking video? I mean, I could have waited 12 months and saved what? A whopping $100? Or $8.33 per month?
I think my $8.33 per month has been well spent.

I think this depends on whether you are interested in the majority of titles available on Blu. I don't think there are a handful of films out yet that I really must have on HD - I either already have SD versions of catalogue I can watch or am not interested in most of what is coming out - so paying more for hardware that has not (until recently) been full featured didn't make any sense. Having gone through 5 DVD players since buying in, the hardware is disposable IMO, and as such I'm no longer willing to pay a lot for it.
