Sony already won the hi def video war from Toshiba a few months back. But still the price of the player has not gone down to an affordable price for mass audience.

It's almost as if Sony was as stubbon as Microsoft when MS is price the Xbox360 over the price that most people would not buy it for and still they do'nt realize that price these days is a major factor, considering soaring gas prices and all. What do you think?
 
because there is no competition. I am sure they will increase the price for sometimes.
 
Because its new technology. Back in the early 80's I paid $150 for a CD player and I considered that a bargain at the time.
Now you can get CD players for $10.
Once sales of the players pick up it will be a commodity item. Hopefully Sony won't be so stingy with its technology licensing. Oddly enough my Blu-Ray player's operating system is Linux and a mish mosh of freeware that Sony has collected from the internet. Cheapskates!
