The price for Blu-ray DVD players slowly decreases in the first quarter of ‘08; but there is no sign of a $200 player yet. Sony, along with other Blu-ray pioneers Panasonic and Sharp, prepares for price drop in coming months. You can get a Sony Blu-ray player at $399 now comparing $999 six months ago.

The question is why there is no single Blu-ray player made in China? According to Sony Electronic, a so-call Blu-ray Associations has not granted the license to any manufactures in China. They’re afraid that cheap Chinese products will collapse global DVD markets.  However,  an article posted by a Chinese IT website saying at least one of Chinese manufacturer has equipment set up…. If this is the case, this will be the first step for Blu-ray pricing drop.
