News Samsung Blu-ray Player: $569 at Amazon The e-commerce site knocks $300 off the retail price. By Phillip Swann Washington, D.C. (December 28, 2006) -- Looking for a bargain on a Blu-ray HDTV DVD player? We've found one today at Amazon.com. The e-commerce site is now selling the Samsung BD-P1000 Blu-ray player for just $569.99 -- more than $300 less than the suggested retail price of $899. Blu-ray, which is backed by Sony and seven of the eight major film studios, is competing with Toshiba's HD-DVD for the new high-def DVD market. Many consumers have been reluctant to buy the Blu-ray player, though, because it has been priced up to $1,000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- At $569, the Samsung player is close to the $499 retail price of HD-DVD players. Amazon.com is also offering free shipping on the Samsung BD-P1000 player for qualified customers. The high-def player can play both Blu-ray and standard DVDs. But it can not play HD-DVD discs. The device can also "upconvert" standard DVDs so their picture is close to high-def. For more information, click Samsung at Amazon.
