[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 516776, member: 259515"] Ed Watson, head of PR at Asda, has contacted TechRadar about Asda’s plans to release budget Blu-ray players on the market [URL="http://www.techradar.com/news/home-cinema/walmart-stocks-cheap-blu-ray-players-369375"]like its American counterpart WalMart[/URL]. Unfortunately, it does look like we will have to wait a little longer for a cheaper way to play Blu-rays. Speaking exclusively to TechRadar, he said that: “[There’s] no plans as yet but we will be getting them in the future at ASDA Price, of course.” At the moment Asda is selling four Blu-ray players: Panasonic DMPBD30, SharpBD-HP20H, Sony BDPS300B, Samsung BDP1400. Out of these player only the Panasonic’s DMPBD30 and Samsung’s BDP1400 are Profile 1.1, which gives the players Picture-in-Picture interactivity and BD-Java compatibility, essentially unlocking some extra features on selected Blu-ray Discs. [B]The price to pay[/B] Out of the players available, [URL="http://www.asda-electricals.co.uk/shop/price/tv---dvd/dvd-players-and-recorders.html?L2523=1.1210929196205&L2523=1.1210929196205&bg=114&i=5d03b6c35aae1b4049f3487afdff6dc6&prodlist_p=2&vp=3"]the cheapest is the Profile 1.1 BDP1400[/URL] at an online price of £259.32. Alhough this is a competitive price for here in the UK, when you consider the BDP1500 (the Profile 2.0 successor of the BDP1400) is now selling at WalMart for $350 (£180) there does now seem to be a big gulf between the affordability of players across the water.
