    Is this a sign that BR is not doing well, or that CC is not doing well?

    ;)

    Whether it is that or the cost of the technology is going down doesn't really matter! Its a steal of a deal!

    I wonder that the incremental cost of manufacture of one of these drives is compared with a DVDRW drive?

    Sony may be willing to sell the Blu-Ray drives at no profit and hope to recover the cost through increased sales of Blu-Ray discs.

    CC is actually not doing well. Poor service and high prices, somewhat like CompUSA. They're probably going to be bought out soon.

    Since it's CC, I assume you can get 10% back from live.com cashback, correct? If true, deal gets even better!

    I heard Blockbuster was trying to buy out CC. Of all things...Blockbuster.
    BTW, the price is listed as $149.99 thru that link you posted.

    EDIT: Crap, someone beat me to it by 4 hours :eek:
