Panasonic Blu-Ray price drop.

Almost choked on my coffee this morning. My boss pointed out that the Panasonic DMP-BD10AEGK has dropped to 399 from £699.

Now thats what I call a price drop!

No surprise, when a company releases a higher spec model the older stock crashes in price as it's dumped on the market. Did he give you a retailer, still at it's usual price on the few web sites I've visited.

Good bargain if you are not interested in Profile 1.1 functions.

I am the retailer!!
No new model from Panasonic released or due, just a massive price reduction.

Toshie have dropped their new, hd models, so would expect blu ray machines to do the same, as they seem to flying out the door on pre-orders / sales especially with the free dvd offers.

You don't think the US DMP-BD30 (RRP $499) is going to have a UK spec version anytime soon and since it's fully compliant with Profile 1.1 then getting rid of the older UK model before it becomes common knowledge makes business sense?
