Hello All,
Blu Ray players are the cheapest I have even seen, and the first time I have seen them for much less than $400.
Abt is selling the Panasonic DMPBD30K for $262.24 with free shipping. You can find it here. The Amazon rating is high, you can see that here. The Cnet review can be found here and a more detailed review can be found here.
Amazon is also selling the Sony BDP S300 for $229.00, you can find that here. The reviews are pretty good, you can see them here and here.
Read the Cnet reviews at the very least before you buy one, so you know what you are getting into; there are issues with less expensive Blu Ray players and firmware. I do not think they are show stoppers, but know that you have more work to do with the cheaper Blu Ray units.
If you do not want to read, but want a Blu Ray player, buy a PS3, it is the best Blu Ray/DVD/Multi Media/TV Web Browser/Photo Viewer on the market. For $400 you cannot go wrong, and it upgrades itself via the internet.
The only real deal on a PS3 right now is this, and admittitly it is not much of one.
If you sign up for a Sony Credit Card you can get $100 off a PS3. You can see the details here. They are offering the 80GB PS3(one that does not play PS2 games) for $399, here.
Again, this is not a great deal really, but it is the cheapest way you can get a PS3 right now. I would not be surprised if there is another price drop on the PS3 before Christmas, to combat the Xbox 360's price drops, but I do not know that it will happen either. There have not been any rumors one way or the other, but the 360 did just sell the most consoles in Japan, which makes Sony and Nintendo mad. I do not know if it makes them price cuttingly mad, but Xbox has never done well in Japan, so that has to hurt the two Japanese companies a bit.
Later,
John
