When DVD Players first came out the electronics companies where charging 1/3 of this for their models. From DVD to Blu-Ray is nowhere near as much of a jump in manufacturing as it would have taken for the VHS to DVD jump.

You can pick up a HD DVD player for just over $300, with better picture quality than any BR player to date. Blu-Ray's answer: Jack up their prices.]]>Sep 16th 2006 1:24AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/15/panasonic-cedia-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/15/panasonic-cedia-blu-ray-player/Without 1080p playback, no 5.1 true dolby sound, and the worst design ever :D

"better picture quality than any BR player to date."

Yeah, exceps some of the latest movies wich show that BDs have better quality and top performance.]]>Sep 16th 2006 3:46AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/15/panasonic-cedia-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/15/panasonic-cedia-blu-ray-player/
There is no picture quality difference between 1080i and 1080p, it just sends half the data to the screen twice as quickly - The display shows exactly the same picture. Remember that all HD TV's only show a PROGRESSIVE Display (except maybe a couple of CRT Projectors).

If that's so, why are the movies mastered in 1080p and not 1080i? Why does a 720p picture look better than a 1080i picture when it comes to HD sporting events?]]>Sep 18th 2006 5:24PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/15/panasonic-cedia-blu-ray-player/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/15/panasonic-cedia-blu-ray-player/

And DVD players were not 1/3 the price of BD players when they debuted. Maybe when you noticed them, but not when they debuted.]]>Sep 18th 2006 3:28PM
