Amazon isnow offering a Samsung [Blu-rayplayer for the low, low price](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F99FDE/panandscathed-20) of $569. That puts the cheapest Blu-ray player in range of thecheapest HD-DVD player, which sells for about $450.
That’s just what I’ve always wanted… the cheapest version of the most over-pricedtechnology out there. I’ll put that on my wish list right behind that $20,000,
solid gold, jewel-encrusted 1GB MP3 player.
Sales of Blu-ray players are expected to continue to not exist.
