I know we've had this question before, but it's been quite a while. Just curious what you guys think. There's a lot of stuff to consider, from cost to manufactur to cost of the players, etc.

the markup isn't much. i worked in an electronics store before. they make all their money by selling you cables and speakers and car audio stuff. best buy's markup on large electronics like TVs, computers, etc is 5%. their markup on the 8' monster HDMI cable they insist you need with that TV is about 3000%.

but i'm not really sure how markup fits into this... what matters is the price to the consumer. the bottom line is that people will not pay 20% more for a BD player.
