You've got dish network saying they're going to be streaming 1080p bluray quality within the next 6-12 months.
You've got netflix and Xbox Live joining up streaming their movies too.
WTF does Sony expect me to pay $34.99 for motherf*cking ROCKY!?
They're shooting everyone in the foot by not lowering prices, and if they don't do it dramtatically by the end of the year, I think they will have ruined BluRay for everyone.
Am I alone out there with this idea, or do others agree with me?

Hope that helps.

I want HD I want it bad, but I am not willing to pay the current price for it, and the point I was making was because of the greed 20th century fox or whoever is making these movies, is asking waaay too much.
No competition no bargain.

There is no competing format that can store 50 GB of HD media yet, so blu-ray is the only one on the race (or in the expressway, since it already won...OK, I'm not good at this things), so it can go as fast or as slow as it wants. Sadly for us. But didn't WB at least lower its prices??

View profile »Personally I think with the down turn in our economy it doesn't make since to go out and buy a $400+ fancy DVD player. Because really that is all Blu-Ray is. I want one but I don't have to have it to be able to enjoy movies and I don't have to be able to enjoy movies to live. These are just wants. You do not have to have Blu-Ray. I think DVD looks better than spending 400 or more dollars. Because I would rather have 400 bucks.

View profile »I TOTALY AGREE! I want HD bad too but I will not buy for these outrageous prices. If you remember: DVDs cost $20 bucks when they were introduced. Say what you want about things costing more now but CDs have really not changed in price. IF anything they have gotten cheaper. I cannot see paying $30-$35 for a movie on disc. Players should be $200 and discs $20 and that is being generous to the greedy hollywood BAS**RDS(Sony of course included).
