Holy Moly Blu-Ray Disc Players below $300

Pzuckerman is right the PS3 was even ranked as one of the best blu-ray players. It's new software makes it 1.1 compatible and it can play some Divx movies. You have to purchase the 80Gig for the SACD the 40Gig won't do it. I also read somewhere that is is a good cd player as well using it's stereo outputs. It is also a music server. The hard drive can be enlarged. It has a wireless network adapter and plays hi-def games and browses the internet. If you are thinking of getting into blu-ray, the PS3 should be on your short list very close to the top, even if you are not a gamer.

HD - DVD players are down to 99 dollars.

Where? What kind?

Just an Update-

1. The A-2s were selling for 99 dollars but I cant find them anymore at that price ( might check Amazon for the A-2 and see if any available.)

2. The A-3s are 199 and the Venturers are 189 at this time.

3. The A-3 comes with some free HD-DVDs but those deals vary from 2 in the box to 2 in the box plus 5 free.

Hd-DVD A2. And the HD-DVD A3 when used to fill HD-DVD A2 ads. Also, Ventura, a new low cost HD-DVD entrant, is also at 99 dollars.

The rumor is that Toshiba will flesh out and stay in the middle ground, and leave low cost players to companies like Ventura and high cost players to Onkyo etc, which is probably why we havent seen an HD-DVD XA3.

I'll know more at CES in a couple of weeks.
