For Bluray...the prices of the movies had to come down. I have myself only got 4 movies.....& have till now rented 4 (although had not rented a DVD for more then a year). DVD....new ones...mostly selling at abt 17/18 & old ones less then 10 make them more appealling. Bluray at 25/30 plus...even the old movies..just is not going to move a lot.

Hopefully the movie studios can bring the price down....if they want better sales.

Does nobody remember how much DVD's cost when they came out? Of course BD is going to be more expensive, it's much newer, thats how things work.

 

Yes and anyone who bought a DVD took it home popped it in and said WOW. They didn't have to rewind they could selct stuff from the beginning they could pause in a way that actually worked and the image quality was noticeably better in every respect.

Popping in a blu ray the feeling is more OK this looks better. 2 days later they see a friend watching an upscaled DVD and aren't wondering why they have tracking lines.

 

The difference does not warrant 20 dollars more it doesn't even warrant 10. It is worth about 5 a disc. Once Disks get around 10-15 for most of the smaller films and 20-30 for the big releases and 30-40 for critereons and collector editions we will talk again.

 

I said wow when i first saw a blu-ray movie, and it does make a big difference. Upscaling doesn't give you near as good detail.
