I think, Ill just go with streaming HD content to my 360 for now.]]>Apr 21st 2006 9:33AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/the-first-blu-ray-burner-now-available-from-panasonic-lf-mb121/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/the-first-blu-ray-burner-now-available-from-panasonic-lf-mb121/
I picked one up for $400 (street) and thought I was getting a screaming good deal. 12 months later the better models were going for $100 MSRP.

***All electronics always depreciate heavily over time (no matter what). ***

This is a constant and it is built into their business model. It allows the manufacturer to cash in on everyone on the upper-end of the demand curve (see your Econ 101 text book) and slowly work down the curve (cashing in on everyone else along the way) until the market hits an optimum efficiency (like how you can get a DVD+/-/DL burner for $40).]]>Apr 21st 2006 10:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/the-first-blu-ray-burner-now-available-from-panasonic-lf-mb121/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/the-first-blu-ray-burner-now-available-from-panasonic-lf-mb121/Apr 21st 2006 5:00PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/the-first-blu-ray-burner-now-available-from-panasonic-lf-mb121/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/04/21/the-first-blu-ray-burner-now-available-from-panasonic-lf-mb121/
I just dont know about all of this anymore. I am really stepping back from it for a while, like I will tell anyone that goes to me for tech info. It is just too risky right now to invest. DVD was a no brainer...it offered new things that no one has ever seen before, and there was no competition.

I feel like we are almost at the point where we are going to stream HD content. Verizon's TV service offers something like 40 HD channels.]]>Apr 21st 2006 6:00PM
