I''ll just take some parts out of the article.

BLU-RAY is being adopted faster than DVD was, but there won't be a fall in the price of discs any time soon. Sony representative Tim Harris said it would take some time for new release Blu-ray movies to drop in price.

More than 50 million Blu-ray players had been sold around the world in the last 3 years, according to the company's figures. Sony's Paul Colley said that number included PlayStation 3 sales. "The PS3 was specifically positioned as a Blu-ray player to get Blu-ray into people’s homes," he said.

According to the Digital Entertainment Group, sales of Blu-ray discs in the US and Canada grew more than 100 per cent to 20 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Well, I won't be buying until they do.

50 million in three years? I'm sure DVD sold more than that.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...when I can get a BRD for $59 and disc for $10-$15...I'll adopt!

they need to drop the price

The price isn't justified just yet for me to buy one

I don't know what this guys on because over the past month they have dropped in price here. They where selling for $50 new releases and now there like $30. so yeah.

Yeah, right now it just isn't worth it. Blu Ray just isn't the leap over DVD that DVD was over VHS.

you can';t afford $23 for movies? (Amazon prices)

Where do you live? I have not seen a 50$ release (unless a special edition/box set) ever for Blu-rays. I believe the first ones had around a 35$ price tag. If you go to amazon.com most of the new Blu-rays release for 22-30$ new. You're getting screwed man.
