Edit: I have split off this discussion about Fox's pricing policy regarding BRD to it's own thread because we sidetracked that previous thread which was talking about Blu-ray versus HD DVD announcements at CES.
If some of those studios don't reduce their MSRP (Fox), I'm not so sure how many of those Blu-ray discs they will sell to the general public? I'm not buying many even with my large film library. Any of us can buy a BRD of a catalog title from Warner, Paramount of Sony for 17.99 with Amazon's special deal. If you use that same Amazon deal for a Fox catalog title, it will cost you $25.15. With such a large difference in pricing between Fox and those other studios for every three catalog titles you buy from Warner, Paramount or Sony, you will save enough money to buy a fourth BRD in comparison to buying three BRD catalog titles from Fox. It's a problem that Fox/MGM and to a smaller degree, Disney needs to address.
Affordable software is essential to the success of either HD format.
