Sony Drops Price Of Blu-ray player To Price Of A PS3 February 27
In an effort to compete with HD-DVD players, Sony announced that their BDP-S3000 Blu-ray player will be priced at $599, a $400 drop from the BDP-S1.
Their current price is not more in line with HD-DVD players.
However, the PS3 is already priced at $599 for the premium version, and $499 for the 20gb version, meaning that customers can already get a Blu-ray player and a game system for the price of the BDP-S3000. And all reports are that the PS3’s Blu-ray player is just as good as the standalone players, so why not get a game system with your player if you’re going to spend that much?
