I can see the value if you're a gamer, since you get two for the price of one... But I'm not, so I ain't. :mrgreen:

I'm a gamer, but I don't have one. I can't convince Mrs A.D. that we need one for *cough* Blu-ray movies *cough* :grumble:

The downside is the Blu-Ray manufacturers aren't dropping their player prices or the discs themselves, since there's no competition at the moment...

Eventually they'll realize it'll die if they don't try to challenge the DVD market...

It does, but S-video is better than Composite Video...maybe he was referring to that.

Ah... That's probably what he meant. :victory:

CV = composite video

YPP = component video

Shouldn't Component Video be RGB, since that's what it is?

Blu-ray Prices Staying High

According to a recent peek at Pricegrabber.com, high-def players are still selling at last year's prices.

Being the winner of the format war has its advantages. Aside from gloating and lighting poo on fire outside of the Toshiba offices, many in the Blu-ray camp have decide to\you guessed it\raise prices.

According to Pricegrabber.com (via Gizmodo), player prices are at an average of $400 for the year. This is actually up a bit from recent numbers. The report includes top high-def hardware manufacturers Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and LG.
