Blu Ray For New Movies Will Replace Dvd With Ray Disc

You may have heard of some people paying anywhere from $2,000 to $50,000 for the PlayStation3 when it first came out. Since there was a limited number, people went crazy for the new technology. Now, those who have patiently waited can buy a PS3 for just $399 and still enjoy all the benefits.

The new Blu Ray HD craze will likely run its course in much the same way. Early buyers paid the penalty of having a less advanced machine, while newer Blu Ray players came out, allowing firmware upgrades via the internet and more interactive capacity. Waiting may be the best way to save money, but there are some great options now for the eager buyer as well.

Now that the bidding war is over between Sony and Toshiba, there is good news on the horizon for consumers. By the time Christmas rolls around next year, those looking to buy a Blu Ray HD player will likely see many deep discounts in an effort to inspire people to upgrade their systems to ray hd.

Of course, they will be much more difficult to find at that time, too. This summer Sony is expected to unleash its next generation high-definition blu ray player that includes internet connectivity, faster memory, more interactivity and more advanced menu options. The best way to buy cheap is simply to wait.

Next we’ll look at where to find cheap Blu Ray HD discs. Since the cost of manufacturing BR discs is so high (just a blank BD-R costs $25!), the cheapest way to buy is to look for all the deals from various retailers.

Since the technology is so new, you can bet retailers will be marking down prices like crazy to offset the “start-up costs” of changing over from DVD to High-definition Blu Ray DVD. For example, Amazon.com has “Buy-2-Get-1-Free” Blu Ray sales right now. Similarly, Circuit City and Best Buy are dropping many titles down to $19.99 for a limited time!

You don’t have to spend over $1,000 on the Sony VAIO to get a laptop that plays/rips Blu Ray discs. In fact, Dell has released the blu ray format equipped Inspiron 1525 laptop for as low as $879.

If you’re looking to get into Blu Ray HD DVD authoring, then you may want to wait until prices come down. The blank discs alone will run you $25 and the burners take 45 minutes or more. You’ll also need software to bypass the advanced copyright protection.

For now, eager consumers may see higher prices but like anything, prices will drop as the demand goes down and technology finds cheaper production modes.
