There's no doubt that the high price of both HD & Blu-Ray are what's really making this race as fast as 2 turtles. If one of these could really hit some more aggressive pricing, it'd provide a huge advantage over the other. I still think the combo players are really going to be the winners in the end.

Probably one of the most drool worthy remotes out there under $500, the Logitech 1000 just oozes sexiness.

And this is apparantly a note that they haven't really had that many fans, slashing their prices in half. Kudos to them for realizing that $100 was beyond obscene, but when will they learn people hate […]
