the "flood gates" will open wide when
the price comes down

Toshiba was already doing that (lower price)
with HD-DVD, and their players aren't as
clunky as the BD players

and they aren't as cluttered with
copy protection as the BD players are

odds are that it (lower price) won't happen
soon with BD, despite the Warner move with
ditching HD-DVD
