Want to help stimulate the economy? Why not drop $135,000 on the Swiss-made Goldmund Eidos Reference Blue Blu-ray player.

Goldmund, known for their absolutely top-of-the-line elite home theatre equipment, offers this Blu-ray player in a limited run of 50 units. And 50 units they will sell. But what do you get for $135,000 that you won't find on regular model?

Well, the 66-pound machine is made of brass and aluminum and is heavily damped, which you're not going to find on a unit at your local electronics retailer. But that's about it.

Overall, this is a Profile 1:1 player with no web connection, so no connection to Blu-ray Disc Live, it can't play SACD or DVD-Audio and the analog audio outputs are unbalanced.

Most affordable, albeit plastic, Blu-ray players at your local electronics retailer will have these options available.
