Black Friday, Blu Friday

What better way to burn off the calories from Aunt Sandy's Thanksgiving Whiskey Cake than to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving. You know, Black Friday is the day to find amazing deals on everything from toasters to TVs.

Looks like this could also be the premiere of $150 Blu-ray players. Will it be enough to spur people to buy Blu?

Samsung's BD-P1500 was originally a Profile 1.1 player, but Samsung has released a firmware update, so just add a 1GB flashdrive, and it's 2.0.  Other manufacturers could also use the shopping holiday to clear out their old stock, perhaps getting ready to load up new models for the holidays.

Will consumers want to buy these older models?  Do they even know the difference between Profile 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 to care? -Leslie Shapiro
