But, wouldn't it be nice to pick up a new Bluray release for, say, $17.99
Its easy to forget that 17.99 DVDs did not happen on a regular basis until a good 6 or 7 years into the formats life. Blu-ray is all of 2 years old and the discs are more or less what DVDs were priced at when they had been around for 2 years. Besides, you can find most Blu- ray movies for 20-25 dollars on Amazon. But the everyday 20 dollar Blu-ray discs at Wal-Mart and Best Buy probably wont be happen for another 1 to 2 years. I would definitely like to see 20 dolalr discs too but I am not sure higher initial media costs are going to doom Blu-ray if they didnt doom DVD.
