It's almost still worth buying the player and movies now to get them at an awesome price. Sure... the player will be considered archaic, but I'd imagine that without any compitetion, the Blu-Ray players will still have a heafty price tag, and movies for the time being will still be $30+.
I'd almost buy Transformers and an HD Player for under $200, then to buy it when it comes out on Blu-Ray.  |
I agree with you about the name. I always thought blurays name would hurt it.
I don't agree with you on the reputation of sony though. Many people interested in video games have a hate-on for sony, but outside of that realm sony is generally considered a safe name brand.
