Come to think of it, I do remember paying $90 for Goldeney when it came out.

But still, BD-roms cost ~40 cents a piece. That's negligible to developers.


It's not nearly the price of CD vs. cartridges, but I wouldn't call it negligible.

If Gears of War had been on Blu-ray, Epic would be out over $1.5 million right now. It adds up.


Very true. DVDs cost around 11 cents a piece in large runs, so the difference is a little under 30 cents, so around 1.3 mil. sound about right.

And like I said, I'm sure the price of BD-roms have gone down since the beginning of the year, much like everything else that has to do with Blu-Ray, so the difference would be even less.

Also, It would be MS that's out of 1.5 mil. They are the one's that published Gears, and they paid to actually make the physical games.
