I was at the Target this weekend shopping the aisles when I couldn't help but notice the prices of the Blu-ray discs for the Planet Earth volumes. In comparison to every other DVD on the shelf, the prices were extremely high.
In response to the Blu-ray New York Times story, I would like to bring attention to the prices of this form of media. Movies haven't always been so cheap according to my pocketbook, but my curiousity lies in whether these prices will drop or not. I think so. Just like anything else, but how do we know for sure? I am certainly not here to doubt digital media (haha) and its failures. However, I would like to recognize that there is always something new, and with something new, I mean that something better than Blu-ray will potentially be here before we wake tomorrow.
In comparison to the I-Phone, there was so much controversy when it first came out about the costs. A few months down the road, and the prices came down. At the same time, I'm just intrigued as to what will be next. I'm not sure if consumers want to or are comfortable with paying these prices.
How much will prices drop for blu-ray discs? will they?
This is more of an open comment. Thx
p.s. VHS rules!
