I remember when DVD first started becoming mainstream in the early 2000s (we got out first DVD player during the 2000 holiday season)... movie prices were generally in the $25-$30 range, and VHS was in the $15-$20 for new movies. Within a couple of years VHS was all but dead and both DVD players and movies were much more affordable starting at the sub-$100 price range and the $15-$20 price range, respectively.
Fast forward to today, and while the BR format has been around for almost a decade now and you can pick up a solid BR player in the sub-$100 price range (I picked one up a couple weeks ago for my parents for $70 on sale), new BR movies are STILL in the $25-$30 range. This is just too expensive for most people to accept and to totally abandon DVD for, which is still "good enough" for most people, and with tons of movies as low as $5 in most brick & mortar stores has much more value to the average consumer than BR does.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
