Blu-ray Price Drops Announced - PS3 to Follow?
Sony Corp. announced this week that it has finally unlocked some key manufacturing techniques and processes that will allow it to manufacture Blu-ray Disc players less expensively. The significant drop in pricing is expected to be ab out $100 (retail) almost across the board. This got everyone talking about whether a price drop of $100 would be on its way for the Playstation3 as well. It would appear that this is to be the case, since lower costs of manufacturing on an expensive component would necessarily yield an opportunity to drop the price of this gaming system and make it more palatable for new users.

Im glad to see the formats becoming more accessable to non a/v freaks. As more people buy into the formats we should get higher quality releases from the studios, can't complain about that.
Besides right now the PS3 needs a boost.

I hope so. Knowing Sony, they want to push more PS3's right now and try to fight off HD DVD for good.
The original excuse was the BRD jacking the price of the console up... let's see if the excuse falls through...

Yeah! Prices are coming down!
At $249 for a HD-DVD player though.....+ 5 free movies.....
I can't justify paying twice as much for a product that doesnt give you significantly better quality.

Um, that was true due to shortages of the laser assemblies and other items that the unit uses; that problem has all but been resolved and the price drop was already anticipated so it is good to see that they are actually going to do it.Originally Posted by yettitheman
I am a supporter of BD, but I have to agree with this completely. I would imagine you will soon see deals with discs as well, like what Panasonic is doing right now with their current model - 5 discs included ($599 player), but you don't get to choose them AFAIK.
