just like it did with that other "monopoly" format, DVD. With HD DVD on the doldrums, there might be a slight price rise with profile 1.1 players while the 1.0 profile players will be "closed out" fairly quickly (and maybe a great deal for Blu-ray challenged owners of HDTVs....).

I'll be surprised if you can't buy a profile 1.1 Blu-ray player for less than $300 within 6 months. But we should wait for CES to see what new toys are coming out.
