and CompUSA closeouts.
My understanding is the Blu-Ray ROM drives will start to be available in quantity this summer which should drive down the price considerably. I won't be surprised if they break the $300 barrier by the end of the year; mostly as a direct result of HD-DVD player prices dropping. I'm sure the BDA consortium would like to keep BD player prices artificially high, but Toshiba et al ain't cooperating.
Follow Ups:
Last year, before the first Blu ray units rolled out, everyone announced a 500 to 700 dollar model to be forthcoming. I have yet to see those machines from any one, although some of the first generation machines are dropping noticeably in price. I see some $1K machines now selling for $700, which isn't bad, as the next generation has always provided better playback quality at cheaper prices.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Sony has just announced that the list price of their new upcoming BD player will be $100 cheaper than originally announcd, at $500, not $600. They arefeeling the pressure from the competition. That's still a long way from $300.
