Are you happy Blu-Ray fanboys?

[KitFisto]

For my money the stoppage of the big sales on discs IS a price increase since it's costing me more money than before.

There is no way that they will raise software prices (movies or games). They won't raise the price on the PS3 either. Therefore, people who don't have Blu will have cheaper options available. Sony knows what they are doing, and has known for years.

yeah the mini-disc was a huge success

In Japan...

I seriously doubt that.

Oh well now I feel better

They said we'd see a $200 retail priced player this year, yet prices have gone back up to closer to $400 for the cheapest model. The only way we'll get a BR player for close to $200 is if Microsoft makes an add on drive. There's no competition so what's to stop them from hiking up prices of movies as well?

 

[KitFisto]

Like I said, they don't have to "raise" prices on movie discs yet. They have stopped some of the great deals and sales on them so it's more money out of your wallet w/o an actual price increase.

Don't you have a PS3???

The companies will start competing against each other soon enough, now that the war is over. Prices will begin dropping soon and I wouldn't be surprised to see fierce competition this Holiday shopping season!

 

[bagelsncheesey]

I still see good sales now. You can STILL buy I Am Legend, a new release, for $18 on amazon. You can buy No Country for Old Men from amazon for $23. You can buy Blade Runner, the complete collectors edition for $27 from amazon. The Rambo Boxed Set is pre-ordering for $34. Chronicles of Narnia is pre-ordering for $23.

These are all great prices, and great movies.

I don't like to internet shop for the most part. I like walking into a store, buying what I want and taking it home and watching it. When I used to walk into Best Buy there were ALWAYS good sales, buy one get on 1/2 price, buy 2 get one free and all the type of stuff. Once the format war was over I have not seen that since.

I don't get it, he's ^^^^^ing yet he already has 2 Blu-Ray players.

A lot of that was also for the Holiday shopping season so that could also explain why they have stopped.

Amazon has fantastic prices, and ships quick as hell, cheap as hell. Stores can't beat them really. Target is the only one i've seen come close, as they usually have their new Blu-rays priced at $27 for the first 2 or 3 days.

Exactly thank you Lonnie, you ladies can un-bunch your panties.

 

[KitFisto]

I am not saying Amazon does not have good deals, but are they still running buy one or two and get one free and that type of stuff?

Holidays are over man. Only time you'll see promotions like that are right before the holidays, and right after, so people can spend their gift cards and cash.

 

[The ill Jedi]

I pre-ordered I Am Legend at $27.95 and to my surprise, I wound up getting it for $18.

Or during format wars

 

[bagelsncheesey]

And it's still at $18.

Such a good looking movie too

 

[p!tu]

I guessing this thread is Price related! i havent read it dont feel like it but! i will say! that First i yet to see BR players go up in price, SEcond if they do who cares! DVD is still kicking there ass especially the whole Upconvert thing( people are stupid and think they will get HD out of em so they just by those) and second i buy my movies at Amazon or at target(when they have the BOGO free)

So in all! IT REALLY DOESNT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME!



PREDATOR & COMMANDO BR HERE I COME!!!!
