Some stores are still trying to sell gen 1 players for full price while others are selling very affordable current gen players. Topachat (in France) is selling the Sony S350 for €239, Saturn (Germany) has the Samsung BDP1500 for €229. Richer Sounds (UK) sells the S350 for £170. Keep in mind that European prices include tax so its not far removed from its US price. The market isn't as advanced yet as the US. DVD lagged about 12 months behind in the early days too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 26th 2008 10:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Cheap Blu-ray players a rare commodity in Europe]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/26/cheap-blu-ray-players-a-rare-commodity-in-europe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/11/26/cheap-blu-ray-players-a-rare-commodity-in-europe/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here in Denmark in the DVD days the market began to take off when players hit around 100£/200$ and everybody got DVD when the chinese players hit 50£/100$.<br><br>Currently the cheapest BD player is around 175£/350$, but good BDLive player are far more expensive. Eg. a Panasonic BD-55 is around 3 times that price.<br><br>But as Mark says.. Europe is behind and Blu-ray havent really been advertised yet. It is slowly beginning here, but it will take a little time - especially since the advertisement doesnt really mention the benefits, but only mention it is available along as the ordinary DVD. Many can't explain what HD is yet. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[techie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 27th 2008 2:12PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
