For those interested, many prominent retailers have begun selling the Sony's BDP-S300 Blu-ray player at record-low prices despite recent Sony quotes that their Blu-ray players would not dip below $400 USD this year.
The player can be found at Amazon, Circuit City and Best Buy for $299 USD, a hundred dollar price cut off its suggested retail price.
The new price drop follows a trend recently in which Blu-ray standalones have dropped in price, especially the Samsung's BDP-1400 which was selling for $270 USD as of last week, down from its $400 suggested retail price.
Although still more expensive than most rival HD DVD players, the new lowered prices means added competition, which is always good for the consumer.
