In Reply to: RE: "HD-DVD Lost, but Did Blu-ray Win?" A lengthy article with great good sense. posted by clarkjohnsen on April 13, 2008 at 10:58:42
What its going to take is for the price of the disks to come down under $20. I have not yet bought a BD player for that reason. I dont want to pay 30-40 bucks per disk, when SD DVDs look so good on my 50" Panasonic plasma. Also, number of titles is still limited. Give me LOTR and the first SW trilogy, and I would pay 40/disk, but not for garden variety movies.
Follow Ups:
is the average consumer going to notice a difference between SD and hi-def on his 42" screen?
...if it's an HDTV set.

They can be had for half that. J&R just had a sale for $7.99 per select BD titles. I've never paid more than $25, which was the cost of SACD when I adopted that.

Yes, I know you can get 'select' titles for less. But new releases need to be under $20, like SD DVDs are now. I still go into some stores and see the new release BDs for $39.95, and still see a lot at 29.95. Titles under 20 bucks are still rare, and when you do see them, they are older or less desirable titles.
