Blu-ray Sales Haven't Grown Since HD-DVD Dropped Out

If you thought - as I did - that HD-DVD waving the white flag meant that Blu-ray would see a big boost in sales, we'd both be wrong. According to the NPD Group - a market research firm - Blu-ray hardware sales dropped a stunning 40% from January to February this year, and the February to March figures weren't much better, as sales only grew by 2%. It seems as though the only good news coming out of the Blu-ray camp is that Playstation 3 consoles have been selling at a respectable rate, making up 85% of all Blu-ray players sold.

Samsung DVD-1080P8 DVD Player

If you're looking for a simple, reasonably-priced DVD upscaler to pair with your Full HD TV, then Samsung's DVD-1080P8 is a solid choice. It does all the DVD basics with minimal hassle and offers superb picture quality, but the icing on the cake is its stylish design, which makes it one of the best-looking sub-£100 players around.
