1.7 How much do players and drives cost?

Mass-market DVD movie players currently list for $300 and up. (See 1.5 for
models and prices.) Within a few years they may approach VCR prices.
InfoTech predicts prices will be as low as $250 by the year 2000, and below
$150 by 2005.

DVD-ROM drives and upgrade kits for computers sell for around $80 to $600.
(OEM drive prices are under $70.) Prices are expected to drop quickly to
current CD-ROM drive levels.
