Goldmund Unveils $135K BonusView Blu-ray Player

Yes, you read that right – we didn't miss a decimal point or typed a dollar sign instead of the yen. Extreme-high-end electronics manufacturer Goldmund has presented its Eidos Reference Blue BD player with a price of $135,000. Build quality is jaw-dropping: the heavily damped, brass-and-aluminum mechanism weighs 66 pounds and is suspended by four spring-loaded legs on its own dedicated table.

However, actual player features are not nearly as impressive: although it is presented as a "universal" player, the Eidos Reference Blue does not support DVD-A or SACD, or even BD-Live.

Those that have no problem paying more for a BD player than what they paid for their Porsche are advised to place their orders quickly as production is limited to a run of 50 units.
