Amazon has dropped the price of the Samsung BD-P1400 to the lowest ever recorded for a Blu-ray player at $339.99. The BD-P1400, a Profile 1.0 player, is the first player to feature DTS-HD Master Audio (through a recent firmware update). While $339.99, which includes 5 free Blu-ray movies from a choice of 18, represents the best ever value for a Blu-ray player so far, it is still somewhat more expensive than the cheapest HD DVD player. Even not including the $99 sale earlier this month, the Toshiba HD-A3 can be had at Amazon right now for only $187.04 plus 10 free HD DVD movies (or is that $187.04 for 10 HD DVD movies, and get the HD-A3 for free?). Either way, the format war does have it’s advantages in helping bring down hardware prices and for the increasing number of free goodies being bundled. And with the holiday sales on, it might just be a great time to get into HD (both Blu-Ray and HD DVD) right now.
