This is the first holiday season since HD DVD exited the next-gen optical-media market, leaving the field to Blu-ray Disc. Sales of the latter haven't exploded, perhaps because people are still reeling from HDTV sticker shock (or, more likely, income loss as the economy continues its slide). Prices still seem high compared with those of DVD players, too. The Samsung BD-P1500, however, is priced at $199 at Circuit City--not dirt cheap (we've seen it advertised online for $209), but a good deal. A major plus: The BDP-1500 is BD-Live ready, meaning it will support available online features if you hook it up to the Internet via your home network.
