With the announcement of FOX's release and their msrp of 39.99 I feel like i am in a time warp and anticipating a LASERDISC release??
I cringe at the cost of these movies sometimes. I will give the benefit of the doubt that retail stores might price these at maybe 30 bucks and of course the internet gives us more options...
I don't have blu-ray i am a current supporter of the HD-DVD format however these titles at 20 - 25 bucks are still a bit scary for the average consumer as well. I can say i don't mind but i would be lying. I have a couple hundred laserdisc's sitting here and i KNOW their is a lot of mula tied up in them..
My first DVD player was 499.99 same as the toshiba hd a1. the movies available at the time i recall around the 19.99 to 24.99 price point correct me if im wrong. I currently have 2 HD-DVD movies that i own and netflix has a great selection for me to continue to enjoy the format. I honestly can't afford to keep buying without serious thought of wether i really want this movie..
My final thought is ok FOX has issued that they are releasing finally for blu-ray and their anticipation co insiding with the PS3 release is interesting considering the PS3 is a game console and after you buy a game console what do you buy???? well... A very high percentage will be buying the 60 dollar game not the 40 dollar movie...
blu-ray can have all the studio support they want but im not into paying 40 bucks ahem 35?? for a movie again..
maybe im missing the point $20 -$25 to have high def
$30- $40 to go beyond high def ???????
who knows...
