Let me see- how many people have posted they won't go Blu until there's a player below $200? In the last few days, even.

Sony S350 price rollback at Walmart
I was in my local Walmart today.
Walmart has already rolled back the price of the Sony S350 to $298. Other sources have reported that Sony is reducing the MSRP to about this at the end of the month. Some other models from various companies (perhaps old profile) are even lower.

Hard to believe. But it'll be interesting to watch. And if it comes true, we'll read posts here from the usual suspects about how Blu-ray is collapsing and they're all close-out sales!
Yeah, especially the bluray movies for $10! That'd be a third the cost they're running presently...
Good question. I'm two for two on BD player failures with Samsung and Sharp both failing on me.
Covered by warranty but still not pleased with it.
Cheers,
If anyone is interested, you can preorder the BD55 on Amazon for $399.

Through Amazon from a store in NJ called Electronics Expo. Got a 50% refund on my shipping costs because they didn't ship it as quickly as they should've, but it's a very nice unit.
Figures the BD55 is about $60 cheaper...
I was shocked when I saw that price, as it was supposed to go for $499. Might support the rumor I heard from my rep, that the 35 might be ditched and they'll stick with one unit. Makes sense from an economics standpoint. We'll see. I still wouldn't mind seeing the 35 come out at $299.

Was some discussion on the CNN the other night about retailers are very nervous about this holiday season, and that as a result 'black friday' type pricing could be seen well before the day of myth and legend everyone waits for.
Crutchfield has the Sony BDP-S550 for $499.99 as a pre-order. However, if you wait until Sunday (9/28/08) to pre-order the price will be $399.99. The S550 internally decodes Dolby TruHD and DTS-MA.
