i'll believe it when i see *lower* prices
for BD *standalone* players
to paraphrase what a few others have said:
"the companies go where the money is at"
i personally find it hard to believe that
this move by Warner is "where the money is at"
if anything, it is an especially dumb move
by Warner
tune in again, 24 months, for an update
till then, i have no plans for buying any
BD hi-def stuff. maybe CHDA, if and when
it shows up here (USA), but NOT BD
i also can't help but wonder if Warner
will really also shitcan Europe?
