The price isn't justified just yet for me to buy one

you can';t afford $23 for movies? (Amazon prices)

Some will continue to complain about the price until they are the same as DVDs while conveniently ignoring the fact that DVDs were priced exactly the same over the same time frame following the debut of the format.

With Amazon, once the price goes under $25 (or $24.95, or whatever the cut off is) you lose the Super Saver free shipping option, so unless you're ordering multiple items, it can actually end up costing more, which is something I'm sure Amazon is well aware of.

That is why you buy two movies off Amazon at a time.

At Walmart, our Blu-rays are normally the same price as the special editions of all DVD movies we sell. So here is an example of the fact there is little to no difference in pricing between Blu-ray and DVD.

There is certainly a difference between being able to afford something and thinking said product or service is worth the price.  For new movies I can consider droping $20 or so on it but if I am just updating my current dvd collection to blu ray there is no way the picture difference is worth $23.  I usally buy all of my Blu Rays from Ebay as I can buy them for around $10-$15 and have yet to have a problem with any of these discs.
