You think Blu-ray's been seeing a bump in sales lately? Just wait until players drop below $100. This holiday season will no doubt usher in a boom of new Blu-ray owners with the introduction of new players by Chinese manufacturers.
Last year's holiday season saw players dip below $199. This year, after the introduction of the technology in China, players are expected to half that lower threshold, according to industry insiders like Samsung marketing director, Mark Leathan.

Thank You China???What for, making cheap stuff.For paying people a wage that people could not survive on here?What makes it worse is that people here buy that stuff but would not work for the same pay would you?

Dennis, not sure what your trying to say at the end of your comment. We can't work for those wages because our cost of living is different and we don't fall under the same government that keeps us poor to control us.You either have to buy Chinese so you can afford to actually enjoy this type of entertainment, and have it break prematurely because it's cheap, or pay top dollar for a marked up, well known brand that still leaves the factory with quality issues and after it breaks after the warranty, pay top dollar again. Look at LCD tv's; manufacturers like Sharp, only to name one, were sued by the government for price fixing and they're assembled poorly, have defects in the panels, banding and backlight issues, don't work out of the box and yet we pay a huge markup because of brand name. Do you blame people for buying cheaper?
