Should I buy now or wait for prices to drop?

That depends. Earlier this year, players sold for at least $400, but special holiday deals have resulted in entry-level models ''for as low as $149, and $249 for really good, fully featured models,'' says Bill Hunt, editor of TheDigitalBits.com. ''And if you don't already have an HDTV, some manufacturers are going to be offering combo deals, where you'll get a player free or nearly so when you buy an HDTV. With the economy the way it is, major retailers are all offering terrific bargains, too.'' As newer, more expensive models continue to hit stores, older ones will be reduced in price. ''If you love movies, buy now,'' says TVPredictions.com's Phil Swann. ''If you don't, wait. Prices will (continue to) fall.''
