Panasonic DMP-BD55

[admin_exported]

Is this now a discontinued product as i cannot see it on the Panasonic web-site?
New product on the way?
Was looking to buy this, but now unsure to paying full price if in 2 months time it will be haf the price i will pay now.

Hi,

Apparently discontinued as a new model is imminent - BD60 I believe. Price reductions were around but if you can find one, you have the power to negotiate a discount because it's technically the 'old model'.

Cheers,

Hi,

You will be lucky to find one. If you can find one cheap buy it, as the new model, if anything to go by BD55, will be a hit and you may have to wait a while to get a discount. I own a BD55 and am very pleased with the picture and sound (a definite improvement from BD35), but you should look at the Sony S550 which has a few very good bargains now. Somebody has mentined prc direct, but I would stick with amazon. Cheers

Blimey - it's only been out 5 minutes - I often pop into my local Pana shop and have never even seen the '55 in there!

BD60 is to replace the BD35 and BD80 to replace the BD55, so i'm led to believe.

I can find loads of 55's, Superfi, Amazon, all around £340 - i was hoping for a better deal, should i buy now or risk it and wait a little while longer to get a better price but risk them being out of stock... mmmm

I was also after the bd55 but the discounts available don't seem to temp me.

Think I'm going to wait for the new models,Prices may even be lower....and I'm sure there will be better deals on the bd55 once the new models come out.

My local currys still have stock of the bd30 and also the pioneer 70a.£229 and £379.

What is the difference between

This

And This

Apart from the £50 or there abouts price tag.

No difference I can see, apart from the money, of course. Only possible diff would be multi-region, but I don't see that listed for either.

Hi,

Different suppliers to Amazon is the only difference I can see other than £££.

Cheers,

Panasonis DMP-BD55 @£319 Is this the same 5* player normally priced at £390?

I'm tempted by this, but is there a catch?

Clare, Andrew or anyone at WHF can you look into this?
Thanks

 

[Andrew Everard]

Only catch I can see is the £30 shipping charge.

Thanks Andrew.
Do you have any clue as to when the new models will be available or as to what their price might be.
I'm wanting a BD Player that will do the work that my amp can't ie no HDMI ports, it's a Yamaha DSP-AX757SE, and the BD55 seemed to fit the bill, both price-wise and connectivity-wise, 8ch analogue out ect, at least that is what i've been told i need unless i what to change my amp.
Can you have a look ay my other post and see if you can help out with my other probs.
Thanks again.
