Panasonic intros fourth generation Blu-ray players

Wow, so now almost a year after the format war has ended Panasonic will do the amazing and bring out a player that hooks up to the internet. They are so cutting edge (said with much sarcasm). I think I remember another format doing that freaking three years ago. Not only that but they are selling at bargain pricing of only $400. I cant wait!

I like Panasonic (nice quality) but come on. They wont get my money till they get realistic in pricing.

And they won't get my money until we stop having days where the stock market falls over 400 points in a day and half the banks are either declaring bankruptcy or trying to sell themselves.

Hmm, the 35 sounds like an attractive peice for the money.

Agreed KungFu!

What are they thinking. Most people barely have enough money to make ends meet. A school system close by to me just fired all 250 custodians and hired some small company to clean their schools. That's just one example of how our economy is in the Sh***er.

You guys have an interesting point of view. What if the recession hits America really hard. My question is will that kill Blu-Ray? and it Sales?

If the economy got a lot worse then kiss Blu Ray goodbye. But we wouldn't be worried too much about movies at that point anyway.

Unless its a must have movie during such a crisis.

Wow - these two great new BD Panasonic players are now $100 less than the prices shown in the original news story (from Sept) - just $299 and $399 respectively - Panasonic's website listings

And Cnet now has a recent review of the BD35K model ($299) - VIEW HERE.

First standalone Blu-ray player to nab Editors' Choice
"The Panasonic DMP-BD35 deserves such distinction. It's a Profile 2.0-compliant Blu-ray player, delivers excellent video quality, and has a $300 list price. That's less than the PS3 and a great value for home theater fans who just want to watch Blu-ray. The Panasonic DMP-BD35 represents the best value in standalone Blu-ray players, with excellent image quality, a comprehensive feature set, and a price that's significantly lower than the PS3."

- Great Deal at Amazon - only $262 & Free Shipping! (no sales tax unless you live in New York).

Looks like I may buy another BD player this Christmas (to go along with my PS3).

Why on gods green earth would you purchase this over a PS3?
