Multiple Disc Argument - It just doesn’t work for anyone.

now look at this:

for dl-dvd9's

10,000

$ 0.55

$ 5,500.00

Right, and to do BR at that quantity is $1.50 each, dropping to $1.10 at 100K units (at which point, they don't show DVD pricing past 10K). So it takes 10 times the bulk to make a BR-25 equal to 2 DVD-9s for cost. (And, by this point, the cost of BR-50 is double that of BR-25, giving no further savings.) Sure, that might work for a large title's early print runs, but the smaller guys? Atlus MIGHT order 100K of a title, but if they want to order more later? That's when the cost will go up rather significantly, and much faster than DVD, too.

Oh, and that red line that I removed? Thanks for pointing out that my initial choice of 5000 units is a common order.
