$135,000 Blu-ray Player Is Expensive

It's that price for the same reason that 'Bling' bottled water sells so well at $75 for a small bottle.
There's a lot of very rich fuckwits about.
Paris Hilton apparently buys 'bling' branded water to give to her fucking dog. Does anyone think the dog would know the difference between bling water and a bucketful pulled out of a pond?
I think it came up on Mock the Week, that the idea came up that Britain loves to knock down our successful people, to which Frankie Boyle said, and I fully agree, 'No, we love to knock rich fucking idiots.'
I don't know how I'd handle winning the lottery to be honest, I'd just be kind of embarrassed to have so much, I'd certainly still not be buying shit like this. I'd have a house of my own and a bigger TV, and all the consoles, but no to jewellery, sports cars, overpriced ornaments, and gold statues made in my own image in the garden.

BUT YOUR PS3 DOESNT HAVE MAGNETIC DAMPENING, OR A/C CLEANSING, OR BRASS/ALUMINUM VIBRATION ABSORBING SPRING-MOUNTED BASE!!! IT DOESN'T LOOK OR SOUND RICH ENOUGH, YOU NAIVES!
This is hi-fi gear. The fact that you can immediately point out a hi-end function that it doesn't support illustrates exactly why and how this type of product is sold - someone has too much money, wants to assemble a home theater system that looks so bad-ass/classy that it'll destroy anyone elses, yet these people don't know jackshit about audio/video performance or even the base-line specs for modern gear.
So here's to you, rich people! For being so rich you don't know what rich is all about, richy rich, richness

I don't care how good a Blu Ray player is and how much money I have, I'm not paying 135,000 for the ability to watch a movie. I'd take that 135k and buy myself a very awesome car. Or maybe I'd have a car, and a boat. Perhaps instead of those I'll start building a theatre in my house. 
Probably not just like you can't tell a difference between HDDVD and BluRayThe Rockerfly said:

Un-be-frakking-lievable. The thing costs $135 k and from the description up above I don't see any other capabilities it has that makes it radically different from a regular Blu-Ray player. You could buy a small house for that much, for Gods' sake!
Short answer is: No.The Rockerfly said:
Long answer is: No.
Hate to tug my own cord but as a fellow who has dealt in audio and visual sales for quite sometime nobody ever notices.
At least not once you do a double blind test. The moment they can't see brand names they can't tell.
Depending on the state you could buy a pretty bomb ass house for 135k. Trust meThe_Oracle said:

Surely they know it is a stupid time to release it when the economy is in such a state?theultimateend said:
