Reports indicate that the Samsung BP-1500 Blu-ray player, which usually sells for $400, will go on sale on Black Friday for just $149.

To quote: You might want to hold off on buying a Blu-ray player for a few weeks, because thankfully, finally, seriously, and almost too-latedly, Blu-ray players will soon drop into truly affordable territory.

A source close to http://www.ultimateelectronics.com/ has told us to expect the Samsung BD-P1500 - usually about $400 - for $149 on this particularly welcome and poignant Black Friday.

Ultimate Electronics is a primarily Midwestern chain, but look to be offering this deal in cooperation with Samsung - in other words, it's probably not the only place you'll see stupidly cheap Blu-ray players come November 28th. More PlayStation 3 News...
