Blu-ray Player Breaks $500 Barrier at Amazon

March 21st 2007 | Multimedia

For the first time, Amazon has marked down the price of one of its Blu-ray Disc (BD) players to less than the price of a PS3. The Samsung BD-P1000 is now available on the online retailer for $499.

Sony announced that a $600 BD player would be coming out this summer, but Amazon beat that by slashing the P1000 price. The Samsung unit still carries a $900 suggested retail price.
