July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It looks like the DVD player my family got back in 2001. That thing is huge. About the same size as the blu-ray.

It probably is an older prototype or something. Or was that from their website?

usually first generation Blu Ray players, HD-DVD players are built like a tank.  Same could be said on first generation DVD players.  I guess that\'s one of the many reasons why it\'s costly...

Good question.  I guess PS3 is different as it\'s build smaller which also helps cut down the manfacturing cost.  That also makes me ponder why don\'t stand a lone Blu Ray players or HD-DVD players use cheaper parts and smaller size to keep the cost down too.  A manufacturer can design two models, say one costing over $1,000 while the other costing $500 that are build smaller in size and uses cheaper parts.  Why don\'t they do that, I don\'t really know.

I guess its just how business works, anything that is new and first generation are usually very expensive, then as time progress, the price comes down to a reasonable level as the production have increases, and many more models were being made for that type of technology too...

I dont think thats tha case.I mean its completely irrational and crazy for a company to choose the more expensive manufacturing method when they have the cheaper method(like the PS3 if we assume its cheaper).

Unless what you ment is that until PS3 is released, BR  manufacturing costs will be reduced while production methods improved thus inabling Sony to achieve small size.
With other words BR players will be smaller by then too

When\'s the first BR player released btw?
