HD-DVD and BluRay Players @ $300

And thus the real price war begins. I can finally say that BluRay and HD-DVD players have hit the sub $300 market (well its probably $299.99 but you know how marketing tricks work). With a significantly improved pricing model, more and more people will be buying the high-def players over the next 6 months. But which one will win? Well according to reports, Wal Mart has purchased a player that will sell at $300 in their stores around the country. This player is your typical home entertainment player that will connect directly to the TV. The BluRay player, however, will be an internal drive for your PC.

Seeing as though most people aren't savvy enough to buy the BluRay drive and then hook their PC up to their TV, I'd say that the $300 HD player has the instant advantage. Additionally, the BluRay player is not even available in the United States market yet but its expected very soon. That wont stop people from importing it from China of course :)
