Simple math would show that you pay about $70 for a Sony upconvert single-tray and about $500 dollars for a multi-disc player. So you're paying about 7X for a few hundred more discs' spaces. With Blu-ray you pay about $300 for a single-tray and a proposed $1900 for multi-disc? That's just over 6X for not only 400X more discs but also RS-232, IR-in and an ES security net.
That sounds like a pretty convincing price point to me for those people who can drop that kind of money and not even blink.]]>Jul 23rd 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/Jul 23rd 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/Jul 23rd 2009 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/

"Yes it would" says I, "especially if I could play more than one disc at a time, the way a media centre would allow me to do!"]]>Jul 23rd 2009 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/sonys-blu-ray-megachanger-hits-the-streets-next-month-with-new/
I know we talk about how we would love to have this all on the hard drive but we are just not at that point yet. I have the HTPC setup and I stream movies wired over gigabit and wirelessly on N from my WHS but when it stops working for unknown reasons during the day when my wife and son are at home who gets the angry phone calls? I do. That just doesn’t happen with real components. It is rock solid every time.

I just got a BD390 with that sweet built in N WiFi for father’s day so maybe I can wait a while for some price relief but I don’t have walls covered in DVD’s and that is great now that I have a 2 year old.

P.S.
My changer has never scratched a disc and because of it neither has my son.
