The gadget - sale tracking NPD saysBlu - ray saleswere up 72 % from a year before , while dollar earned were up just 14 % ( actor are getting cheaper)—yet most people still do n’t really know what Blu - beam is .
It ’s kind of suspicious to equate Q1 ’ 09 ( upside lots ofBlu - shaft players , downside recession ) to Q1 ’ 08 ( more hard currency in the market , but Blu - ray specification was a hole ) , but the trends that emerged made sense : 400,000 standalone ( i.e. not PS3 ) units sold this retiring quarter , up from the low 200,000s way back in early 2008 . But the average merchandising price had dropped substantially , from most $ 400 to $ 261 now , and headed towards $ 214 . Meanwhile , as most of our readers get it on , the specification has been iron out out and most player sold today have Ethernet for synergistic features . So they ’re getting cheaper and safe .
What ’s sad is that the masses who bought cave and bought Blu - shaft of light histrion anytime before now were getting the shaft , as the best — or at leastthe coolest — ones are just coming out , players with Wi - Fi and all kinds of video - on - need selection . ( Hopefully , people at least purchase upgradeable players like so many are these sidereal day . )
