As tipped by SHN, HD players are set to plummet in price. This week Samsung Electronics in the USA lowered the retail price for its Blu-ray Disc (BD) player BP-1000 by about 48% to US$469.99. This is expected to be passed on to Australia soon.
In response, Toshiba immediately reduced the US retail price for its entry-level HD DVD player HD-A2 to US$399. The price competition will result in price cuts that could see both Blu-ray and HD DVD players slashed to sub $799 soon in Australia.
