The real fact is that the price will stay high until sales fall off.Then 
and only then will the price drop. That's just standard business 
practices. Any other way would have whomever lowered the price kicked out 
on his/her butt. Not to mention the fact that the US$ is at an all time 
low. And if it keeps falling, they may raise prices even higher. But none 
of this really matters to me. I was just posting the link. I will Never 
buy a Blu-ray player.
