I imagine there will be some reasonable bargains in the January sales, However, if you wait a year or so, you'll probably be able to pick up a BlueRay player in your local supermarket for about 45 quid... I paid £220 for my first DVD player (a Thomson) and Blu-Ray players can already be had for about £150 or less. It won't be long before they come down further. |

But there's a large key factor in "elctronics" cost in the UK/(Europe).. Most imported electronics are done so off of the items based in their "USD" form. When the exchange was 1$=50p then we were really paying over the odds, now that 1$=67p then electronics companys are now getting 26% less than they were doing a year ago!.. (perhaps if I say 1£ was $2 and now 1£ is $1.48 then it makes more sence).. So look for companys to cover this gap again over the next few months, possibly after the xmas rush. I wanta BD player but I will probably wait till they drop to around 65-75£ (and get hack'd).. As I buy a lot of american DVD's then it stinks that BD players are region coded (I only found out the other day) so we cant play american releases on our european sets (booooo). |

Now you need to pay about £200 for a decent branded player. By next christmas I'd expect this to have halved now that there's no competition -- Alex "I laugh in the face of danger , then I hide until it goes away" |

: I wanta BD player but I will probably wait till they drop to around 65- that BD players are region coded Yep. I'll wait until region-free Blu-Ray is available. No point buying a player only to find that I can't play US or Japanese disks. A lot of the stuff I like is niche market stuff and never sells well enough to be issued in a second region. Either that or wait until the drives are cheap enough I can buy two, then buy one that will play US discs but work on a UK power supply. Simon. -- http://www.hearsay.demon.co.uk |
