$249 Bluray players in Walmart after the summer?

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Yes, that is right. Funai is preparing bluray players to be sold at Walmart under the Sylvania/Emerson brand name. There is no official announcement as of yet, but I have very good word from a very trusted source that it is definately going to happen. So don't worry about bluray player prices, they are falling like they should, not being pushed down by subsidization.

Stay tuned to your audioreview network.....

OK Mr. Smartypants.....when will we start to see new releases drop to about $19.99. I Am Legend went for $18.95 at Amazon. Is that trend gonna continue?

Well brainyshirt, I know Sony and Disney are going to get more aggressive with its pricing structure. Fox, it going to take a while. Warner will follow suit with Disney and Sony. We will have to see about Universal come this summer, and Paramount is having some issues right now. According to my friends and sources there, all information on bluray is on lockdown. I may have to call my former boss there and get some information. Maybe a BBQ would do the trick.

I do not think your are going to see an instant major price drop, but they will go down gradually leading up to the holiday season.

Thanks to Brainyshirt and Smartypants. Good news all around. But what does any of this have to do with tweeters needing more power?:idea:

Well, those damn things have to move 12,000 times a second, that must require more than a woofer that only moves 12 times a second..:out::crazy:

[Rich-n-Texas]

Smartypants and Brainyshirt. Good Lord. :rolleyes:

This IS good news. Fits my timeframe just fine. Although I'm kinda getting the PS3 bug.:idea:

Seems logical. And the fact is, 12,000 is a higher number than 12.:14:

Wonder if these players are gonna fully loaded. Full audio decoding, 5.1 analog output....I don't care much about extras so I could care less about profiles, but ethernet connection would be nice for updates I guess. Bah...screw it, I'm gonna get another PS3!

Actually brainyshirt these will be profile 1.1 players. I do not have any additional details other than that.

Weren't the first Funai players originally supposed to have come out last summer? I recall reading the rumors about them coming in around $500, but then Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, et al began dropping their standalones to $600 and then $500. Interesting news though if the Funai players came in at $250 after the summer. This would put them right on target for $200 by the holiday shopping season.

I think they were having trouble getting their liscenses together. The way the BDA is dealing with the cheats from China, is that they are not allowing any parts to be released to unliscensed manufacturers. Once the player is designed, it must be approved by the BDA before it can be sold with the name bluray on it. Suppliers who sell parts to unliscensed manufacturers loose their liscense as well. Even those low priced chinese players that will be in the pipeline will have to undergo a strict inspection, and can only use parts from liscensed suppliers. I think they have learned this go around.

the ONLY details you have are what you read in the newspaper.

And the Chinese are a LOT smarter than you and your monopolistic bunch (isnt everybody)

ONE TRIP OVER TO BUY A CRATE of Blu players and they'll be churning them out like sausages, 99 bucks each, they have as much respect for property rights as human rights,
ZERO, which matches you I.Q BTW

In spite of your feble protestations to the contrary, a Blu is just a souped up DVD player
with a few more chips and a blue laser.
And they can keep off a bunch of the junk you guys saddled your players with
(JAVA?, A ZILLION SOUND FORMATS?) Get real.
Next Christmas you'll be able to get a player for 150 bucks 07 US
(five million US after the collapse of the dollar):1:
