HD-DVD dead, Blu-ray prices up

March 12th, 2008 at 05:00pm With the competition eliminated it seems Blu-ray player prices are creeping up. I'm puzzled about the current player pricing which makes the PS3 a better option than the cheapest standalone player. Hopefully prices will come down as manufacturers finalize on the 2.0 specification and start pumping out more units. In the meantime if you need a nice upconverting DVD player for your standard definition DVDs, grab a Toshiba HD-DVD player on the cheap, which cost about the same as any other upconverting DVD player with HDMI. I'm saving up credit card rewards to cash in for gift cards when prices are a little more palatable.
