But, this is like many things that have high prices when initially
available -- cameras, game consoles, etc.

Sell as many as possible to the early adopters, who will pay nearly
anything; then, when they are all satisfied, and profits have been
maximized, drop the price to induce the average purchaser.


That sounds about right. Like with the iPhone. The early adopters payed
a high price. And it was not long before the price dropped a lot.


Who bought a BluRay player last Christmas when they were "only" $500?
Who bought one (taking a chance) the year before at $1200? Who bought
one today for $139.99? The guy at Fry's told me that Sony and Samsung
are having a private little war. Samsungs for $139.99 (magic price
point). Sonys next week for $124.99 (even more magic). He also said
that other brands would probably go below $100 by Christmas. Finally,
he said "At least I've been watching my movies in 1080p for the last
two years." With a groaning smile.

Since you asked. I bought the networked LG BD370 for $80 at
Amazon a couple of weeks ago (the deal is long since dead, it
involved a great sale rice and a $50 coupon for Amazon Visa
customers). Plays Netflix movies over the internet, too. I
didn't need it but the price was too good to pass up.

Never have been a troll Charles and you know it.
I enjoyed Peters post either way.

This could be interpreted in several ways; I'm not going to go there. ;-)
