Finally, a format has arrived that can handle the massive amount of information required to burn a film in high-definition! Blu Ray discs are the perfect complement to your high-def TV set. But what if you're a late-comer to all this new technology? What if you don't want to spend a fortune, but would still like a modest DVD collection? There is a ray of hope for you.
If you really just want "the cheapest of the cheap" Blu Ray HD player, then you can buy the Samsung BD P1400 for less than $300 from Amazon. This Bluray HD DVD player will give you all the quality of high-definition on a stand-alone Bluray player and it will be able to up convert your existing DVD collection as well.
However, it should be noted that once you buy this machine, you will be unable to upgrade it as new interactive features come out. Tech geeks say that the best way to buy Blu Ray technology is to pay the $399 for a PlayStation3.
The PS3 comes with a WiFi/ethernet connection so you can upgrade your firmware as new technology comes out, thereby never making your player obsolete. You'll also get "more bang for your buck" because the PS3 is made for video gaming too.
Still need to buy that HD-TV and surround sound system to go with your Blu Ray HD player? This technology has been out for years already and prices have come down a lot. The Panasonic Viera series 50" flat-panel plasma screen is just $2,000, or you can buy the 42" for as little as $1,300.
If size isn't as important to you as clarity, then Circuit City has a Samsung 30" Widescreen CRT for $899 or Panasonic Widescreen CRT for $599. Best Buy has a high definition Magnovox 30" 1080-pixel-resolution for just $499 as well. In recent news, Sony announced that it will begin manufacturing a new HD-TV set with a built-in Bluray player but they haven't announced a timetable for its release yet.
