$300 for a player? you can get them for half that price

$35 for a movie? What are you smoking.. average priced paid by most that buy blu ray’s is nearly half that amount as well. I have around 50 blu ray movies and paid average of $18. for them. Have never paid over $26 for a movie.

Blu ray is doing well and about to explode with sales..

I hope someone saves all these BS articles to throw them back in the author’s faces in a few months..

I don’t think blu-ray is dying really, the video store (rentals) I work in is seeing TONS of new blue-ray people coming and most of them are happy plus it seems like there is still room for cool blu-ray features on the discs, but there is one thing making me mad…. High Definition.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand that people want that, but the first thing I thought of when I heard about blu-ray is the disc size. Where is the standard definition blu-rays holding 7 movies on them? TV Shows are even more important here, buying a anime series and having 3 episodes on each disc has always pissed me off… especially when things like DBZ have hundreds of episodes.

I just looked up Naruto on torrents, the full series, 80 gigs… that means they could cram that on 2-3 discs with plenty of room for features and trailers, and I would preorder that even if it was $80 just so I could stick a disc in and leave it there for a few days if i want while still watching tons of episodes.

With upscaling the only reason not to do this is just to scam us out of more money, which wont work on me, Ill get a burner and make them myself otherwise.

I’ve already seen that the players will be below 100 or right around it soon, and in our case, .99 cent rentals on monday, the movies and player wont be that big of a deal anymore, just the TV, which would be solved again with SD BR DISCS!!!!!
