LOL ... you're funny. Competition bring lower prices - lack of it = stagnant prices. There's no real reason to lower prices when there is just one dominate format. Lower prices? LOL ... I expect prices to stay the same for a long, long time. Look at fuel prices. If you don't have another competitor, you can charge folks whatever and they'll pay. Hence why monopolies are discouraged. I bought an HD DVD because of several reasons, but the main one was freedom. Lossless audio is cool, but that would require me to buy another amp - and spend more money. For me, I am fine with the audio that HD DVD offers. It's sad that I'll have to accept Web features, the region-free aspect and the fact that this Blu Ray/HD DVD war brought lower priced players to the market, especially the BOGO offers are all a thing of the past. Hooray for the ones who wanted this war to be over. It will be - and we can kiss lower prices for Blu Ray and the movies. Sad thing is - a lot of folks will still shell out the money to buy the movies. Gimme DVD ftw ... BTW, for folks that forgot, I do have a Blu Ray player. |
Like you said, "Gimme DVD". They aren't idiots, they know they have to get prices more affordable to follow DVD's success. Price drops are far from over.
