| Lord Flashheart said: Of course I know that. Do you? Does that change my point in any way? If it's on their own production line or someone elses the cost for making each product will likely be similar, If dvd is cost less to manufacture than BD so it will be on thier line, just cheaper for them than getting someone else to make it for them. |
If the high cost for BD was because of the initial costs of setting up an assembly line to produce BD then if it's a manufacturer surely they've had the factory set up to produce BD for years now and that intial high cost would be factored out for the most part in order to be competitive so regardless of if it's a small game or a game that sells higher amounts of copies it would be cheaper to produce a BD. So yes that does completely contradict your opinion. They don't have to factor in the initial set up cost everytime a new game is printed which you kind of insinuated in your posts by saying it would only be cheaper for huge selling games.
Also it's not always cheaper if something is produced on their own assembly line. There is a reason why things are outsourced to specialized companies. Especially with highly standard products like DVD's or BD's, it's way cheaper to outsource the work than to set up your own factory.
