There were similar discussions in the early days of SACD. Everyone wanted a cheap player and forgot that all new technologies cost a premium before prices come down. The issue isn't the cost of players but the support for the format. Prices will come down regardless. Look at SACD. Cheap players were easy to find, but now almost no labels are releasing SACDs (except classical titles). I don't want that to happen to Blu-ray just because industry heavyweights want a format war.
