Way out of price (Score 1)

I find the prices way out of line, this is not new technology! it is the improvement upon 1980's optics. There is no just cause for a player to cost $400. The only difference in Blueray players are the laser and processor. (the laser assembly I can see being a bit more expensive as well as the processor cause of the bit rate of HD) everything else is old hat. Modern electronics are cheap (both in manufacturing cost and quality) Everything is programmable; solid state circuitry.
