so now I want to see a decisive price drop for BluRay movies. The prices are ridiculous. |
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. |
looks like somebody wasnt happy about the outcome of this war

No, what I don't like is how easily folks will line up behind a format that is really, really lacking. Storage and better sound vs. region-free format and Web content in-movie ... folks don't have a defense for why Blu Ray is lacking. Yeah, it has studio support, yeah, it WILL have bigger storage (HD DVD has 51gb) but that's weak. And folks are willing to accept that. That's what I don't understand ...
