This is an extract from AVS re a recent statement from a Sony Exec. Doesn't sound promising and wonderwhat this will mean for the UK price point ????
"Sony Exec States Won't Meet Blu-Ray Demand...higher prices?!?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sony exec citing component supply as cause:
"Overall component supply is tightening up," Stan Glasgow, president and chief operating officer of the Sony Corp. division, said during an event in New York. He noted that a wide range of electronic devices such as mobile phones are "selling at a phenomenal rate."
Glasgow added that the company would not have enough inventory to supply demand for next-generation Blu-ray DVD players in the United States.
"It's going to be expensive," he said. "It will take time to get component prices down."
i hope we don't see price bumps in our electronics gear...are we being softened up for last minute price hikes...they did this with many products, including my beloved qualia 006!
say it isn't so...
this is comforting though:
Glasgow said he believed the battle over formats could be resolved within 12 to 24 months, but entertained the possibility of creating a player that combined both technologies."
