What and when would be best to buy Blu Ray?
I was thinking about getting a Blu Ray player, but I'm not sure which player I'd get or when is the best time to buy it.
I'm not a big gamer, so buying a PS3 isn't a must for me. But if the price difference between a PS3 and a SAL is only $50 or so, then I'd probably just opt getting the PS3.
Plus, if I'm correct, the Blu Ray Players that you can get in the $450-$500 range aren't going to be Profile 1.1 compliant anyway, right? I'd definitely want Profile 1.1 abilities if I'm going to shell out around $500 for a Blu Ray. But I'd also like to get a SAL if I could somehow get it for $100+ less than the PS3.
And then I'm not sure when exactly I should buy it. Does anyone think prices are going to go down on Blu Ray players anytime soon? I guess that kinda depends on HD DVD players going down in price as well... and I wouldn't guess that price cuts would be until around Christmas time. But if I do decide get a Blu Ray, I probably wouldn't want to wait that long. So I don't know if I should wait a month or two to get one, because prices in these format wars seem to change every week.
