I haven't seen mention of this yet, so here's a link. There is no pre-order option for the Samsung player yet, but the price is listed if you click the link labeled "Click here to learn more about Bluray". Scroll to the 'How to get it' section.

Ok, so who's ready to shell out 1000 bucks on a technology that may never see the light at the end of the tunnel... OOOUUUCHH!!!!

Thats a MSRP list price and Blu-Ray will see the light of the tunnel, as will HD-DVD.

I agree, I know plenty of people with more money than brains.

Seems to me, that when Blu-Ray finally hits the shelves they will have to match the Toshiba pricing.

Herd something on the news about PlayStation 3 being delayed. Mentioned copy protection concerns. Could this be a cover for blu-ray delays?

Somewhere on another thread I think it was announced that the group responsible for the CP scheme was delayed; thus delaying both HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, etc.

I've already selected my Blu-Ray player...it's a PS3.

WHich has been overruled by the fact that they DID release the specs, so no more excuse for Blu-Ray, HD-DVD will have months of advantage, indeed.

The PS3 is going to be a bit cheaper than that.

Screw both of them. All I want is a HDDVD player for my PC and a program that will allow me to copy it to a server for network streaming.

Ditto. My HD-DVD was pre-ordered from Crutchfield the day it became available.
