Alright first of all, Bluray standalone prices haven't gone down at any significant rate, nor have bluray content prices. The reason being a clear indication that hd-dvd has been going absolutely NOWHERE... When your literally being outsold 30:1 in Japan on content alone, it's plain obvious that the hd-dvd format just isn't a threat.

IF hd-dvd "survives" it will create more consumer confusion over yet another lackluster propaganda toshiba/ms media campaign year. All I hear on here is how apparently members on this forum can freely speak for the entire consumer market and label this format war "confusion at best" ...well you take out the hd-dvd factor and that "confusion" becomes a stable reality..a reality in which Bluray has no competition, is a UNIFIED FORMAT and ALTHOUGH prices may stay $5-$10 dollars higher for content sales, in the end Bluray adoption will triple and we will be able to look back on all of this and laugh.

YOUR definition of "lower prices" means 12 months (at the least) of consumer confusion, battle within camps and an overall stranglehold of fear on the consumer high definiton market.

Instead of "talking" about the issue Warners has gone ahead and SOLVED it. Can't put it any simpler then that..believe me that extra $5 for Casino Royale isn't going to dent your wallet lol. In worst case scenario..just rent the damn thing lol!
