Blu-Ray discs are already getting cheaper at Best Buy

I wouldn't consider this a great deal as most of those DVDs can be bought for 5-10 in the bargain bin.

 

And those very same $5-$10 dvd's look and sound like crap compared to a blu-ray. Yes, even upscaled.

Quality costs more.

I don't understand why people can't understand that you get what you pay for. DVD'S should cost less; they are inferior.

If quality doesn't matter to you, then dvd is a better option. If you want top of the line picture and audio, plan on spending more than you would on a dvd.

 But should I be spending $5-10 more on something that only costs them $1 more to produce?

 When DVD's first came out they were more expensive than VHS for quite a while, yet DVD's were significantly cheaper to mass produce. I don't think DVD's ever got cheaper than VHS for a single movie that was released on both, yet they made significantly more profit on every DVD sold.

Currently your not paying for quality, your paying for smaller market. But still, once Blu-Ray takes over DVD, they'll sell for the same price, because they probably figure most people won't care.
