3D Blu-ray’s Price Decline Seems To Jump Right Off The Screen!
We’re starting to see the first signs of serious discounting in 3D Blu-ray player pricing. To track the price performance of this new state-of-the-art technology, we launched our PriceSCAN 3D Blu-ray Player Index back in April. Our index held pretty steady until mid-June, but then, as noted in our recent press release , a 2.35% decline in the first week of July capped an early summer slump in 3D Blu-ray player prices that has brought our index down about 10% since inception.

3D Effect Continues To Pancake 2D LCD Prices
The roll-out of 3D-capable LCD television continues to pressure prices of older 2D models enough to overwhelm support from any recovery in retail. We’ve previously discussed this effect for 30”-39” LCD sets ( “LCD Prices Fall So Flat They Look Good In 2D ”) as well as 2D Blu-ray players ( “ Blue Light Special On Blu-ray ”); now in a recent press release we’re seeing something very similar for larger models, as captured by the action of the PriceSCAN 46” 1080p LCD Index . That index dropped 2.6% last week, erasing most of a 3.3% rally that occurred three weeks ago as consumer demand showed new signs of life
