IN WHAT’S an undoubted reaction to Blu-ray’s lead in the HD wars, Toshiba said today it is slashing prices on its players in the US market.
The recommended prices for its entry level HD-A3 has dropped to $150, the HD-A30 (1080p) to $200, and the HD-A35 to $300.
Justifying the price axing, Yoshi Uchiyama of
Toshiba’s Digital AV group said that price is only one of the things early adopters consider.
But, he said: “It is a deal breaker for the mainstream consumer buyer.” µ"
