Thanks for posting gonk.

Like many of us, I've been sitting on the fence seeing how the format war will play out and how much lower the players will go. As Fred pointed out, if Blu Ray players do not come down soon, I think they may start losing any edge they had nudging out HD DVD.

But let's say they do come down by the holidays and you can pick up a Blu Ray player for $250 or less. Would you do it?

At this point, I probably would NOT, as the movies themselves are still VERY expensive compared to standard DVDs and the number of titles is pretty limited.

So from my perspective, the cost of the player is only part of the decision making process. Until I can get more high-def movie choices at reasonable prices, I'm comfortable with my Oppo.
