Blu-ray Players Could Sell For Under $40 This Year
Wed Jan 26, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Blu-ray Players, HDTVs, Deals (all tags)
Similarly, low-end 42 inch HDTVs may be available for less than $300 according to DealNews.
Beth Pinsker is the editorial director of DealNews.com, a site dedicated to helping consumers get the best deals on the things they want. They keep tabs on prices for individual items as well as items in each category.
Pinsker says that the data they've been tracking is helping them to predict pricing for the next year. Blu-ray players sold for as little as $79 in 2009 and $50 in 2010, but the folks at DealNews are expecting even lower prices for 2011.
"You'll probably see a lot of Blu-Ray players bundled as extras with TVs, but you’ll also see them as doorbusters and priced like crockpots," she writes on the site.
Pinsker also says that we'll see less expensive TVs in both the 42 inch and 55 inch categories. "Once they hit $299, 42 inch LCD HDTVs will destroy the waning market for 32 inch LCD HDTVs," she writes.

Panasonic's 3D Essentials Pack May Be the Best Deal Going
Mon Sep 20, 2010 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Panasonic, Deals (all tags)
Buy a GT25 or a VT25 and you'll get 3D glasses and a 3D Blu-ray player thrown in for free.
It's nice when companies pack in some goodies with your purchase. Most throw in a few pairs of 3D glasses, while others include 3D Blu-ray discs. Panasonic is going one step further to make sure you'll choose one of their plasmas.
If you pick up a GT25 or VT25 television, you'll be getting Panasonic's 3D Essentials Package. It includes the usual things, like two pairs of glasses and 3D versions of 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs,' and 'Coraline' on Blu-ray, but it also adds one item you won't find in any other starter pack.
Until the end of October, Panasonic will be throwing in a BDT100 3D Blu-ray player with your TV purchase. In all, the pack in value comes to around $600. That's a pretty impressive deal even if you're buying the TV for 2D movies.
