This sucks....
I'm trying to buy a new car....and I don't want to spend money on new Blu-Rays right now.
But...I am Legend is on sale (Amazon)...so is Black Hawk Down (Amazon)....Now 300 is BOGO at Target?
I'm glad the price cuts are happening across multiple studios. I think people can live with $20 Blu-Ray's right now....especially in this economy.

It was A_Klingons comment to me that provoked the Super Upconversion stuff and the discussion rolled on from there.
I haven't got a clue in Hades what comment he is/was referring to. I don't know what the man was talking about.
OK, moving on. (Just wanted to clarify that). :)

I'm not being offended, its just most posts are rather annoying like SONY IS THERE TO KILL YOU! and 360 IS A USELESS EASY-BAKE!
Ok well the Easy-Bake one was mine but that's something else at another time lol
Oh and then there's DRM this and DRM that... I don't think there is one thread that doesn't mention DRM... Like there will be a PS3 thread which eventually gets into Sony CDs and DRM crap... Is there nothing else to talk about?

*********************************************************************
$15 should be the average store price for a Blu Ray and there should be older movies available for $10, like with HD-DVD's.
This $20+ a disk is just too much no matter the economy.

You got to give it time this is new tech.Also do some bargain shopping like i am i was paying those prices but now I'm using Amazon & getting great deals.I just got I Am Legend on Blu-Ray for 18.95 plus shipping 21 & change.BestBuy price is 27.99 online 29.99 in store.HD-DVD price point is low because its a dead format.

I would love for them to be that cheap...but come on...the format war just ended a month ago. It will take years for the prices to get that low on a consistant basis. Remember how much CD's were when they first came out? DVD's? Laser Discs?

I guess that would be a price cut on a new movie.....right?
It's not a Fox title but $18.95 for a BluRay new release is simply too good to pass up.
I pre-ordered this together with Bonnie and Clyde and Digital Video Essentials.
Thanks for the heads up.
I may be wrong but I think that's the first time that a new release BluRay is priced cheaper than the 2-disc DVD.

Probably because after 100,000,000 downloads via p2p for the dvd at the time of the cinema release they can only see the HD version as being viable if it is priced fairly.. They have already lost the dvd sales to us pirates... Arrrrrrrrrrr 
:lol:

Varnull, they are also available in HD on p2p (sourced from Blu-ray/HD-DVD) as soon as they hit the shelves too. Well... Before they hit the shelves in my case as I am in Australia... Hehe.
You can d'load recompressed 720p versions (usually about 4.35GB), recompressed 1080p versions (usually about 8GB) or the untouched 1080p versions ripped as they are from the disc (20GB+).
