The fact is, people are not willing to pay a premium for the device and people like myself that have well over 800 DVDs at home are not willing to pay $10 more for a blu-ray movie. I like the technology, like the features, but I am unwilling to pay more to watch/use them? Definately not. Until the price of the devices are closer to DVD (sub $100) and the movies cost the same as DVD ($20-ish) blu-ray will struggle. |
Amen. They lower the cost of the movies and they might see some real gains.
I think the costs of the hardware can be slightly higher than a DVD player as it is a "premium" player. But paying a premium for the player AND a $10 premium for the movies is dicking you twice, and will limit the number of Blu-Ray movies I'll buy.
