Free Range, I agree with you, the 170,000 players sold on Black Friday plus sales through the holiday (Target is selling one at 149.95 this comingweek I believe , on the cover of their Sunday insert), more discs will sell from the new owners of the machines. I know of 3 people who turned blu in the last 2 weeks. My only concern is that Black Friday prices came and went and back up $249, plus the movie prices never got discounted for the holidays. The studios are either blind to the economy or have idiots working there. A good heap of titles should have had their suggested retail prices reduced by at least 10.00. 1966 Batman with Adam West, Suggested retail $39.95, I mean come on, for the average consumer that's a definite no go. Many of the titles that made less than 50 million at the boxoffice are priced way up there with the big hits....personally I feel it';s a mistake and hurting the new format.
