If they do eventually start releasing titles on Blu-ray you have to wonder what pricepoint they would go with. With Blu-ray titles from major studios selling for close to $30 and Criterion having left their pricing structure unchanged for SD releases over the last 10 years (and for a good reason), they would have to charge a premium for their Blu-ray releases and so we may be well into the >$50 range for Blu-ray titles. Some titles may be worth the upgrade but I don't see Criterion fans like myself rushing en masse to replace their Bergman/Fellini/Kurosawa catalog titles with their Blu-ray counterparts.
