HERE are Dixons’ top three Blu-Ray bargains, announced after their site had a 150 per cent increase in customer searches for the hi-def players.
The surge in interest follows this week’s announcement that Toshiba is scrapping the rival HD DVD format. Dixons.co.uk has since withdrawn all models of HD-DVD player.
Managing Director at Dixons, deVere Forster, said:: “This is good news for consumers as the availability of a single format will allow consumers to purchase the High Definition Blu-Ray format DVD player with every confidence and enjoy all the benefits that this fantastic format has to offer.
“Now that the winning format is clear, Dixons.co.uk’s aim is to have the UK’s widest selection of Blu Ray players available for customers soon.”
Bizarrely, another website is recommending buyers cash in on the losing HD DVD format.
Toshiba has ordered the country’s electrical retailers to slash the prices of their HD-DVD players in a bid to clear the shelves.
“The fallout from this means that some of the best DVD players will be leaving our shelves for as little as £114.90,” says Dominic Yacoubian, Managing Director of 247electrical – one of the UK’s leading online electrical retailers.
“This is a really great opportunity for people who want a quality DVD player. Don’t forget HD-DVD also plays ordinary DVDs and CDs.
“All major high street retailers dropped the price on the Toshiba HD-DVD model from £299 to less than £149 overnight in January. This was an extraordinary offer, even during the sale period. We now expect the price of the player to fall even further.” says Yacoubian. “But the window of opportunity will be small. Once the stock has been sold that will be that.”
