Are Blu-ray player prices poised to fall?

Well according to a story on The Hollywood Reporter they are. Apparently, holiday prices for the newly crowned king of hi-def disc players, may tumble to about $150 because of the economic downturn and competition from download services, according to warnings from research firm ABI.

Researchers also say that there are new opportunities for Blu-ray, including LG and Samsung’s deals that allow users to download movies and TV shows straight from Netflix.

So for those of you who sat out the HD disc wars, and who have been waiting for Blu-ray player prices to drop, this holiday season may be your perfect storm.
