It won’t cost that much, because most people wouldn’t pay that much. Economics.

And people paid $250 for it in 1993.

But it’s not 1993. Premium home entertainment is no longer a niche market. There certainly would be people buying it at $250 plus today, but they would make more money selling more at a lower price. In 1993, you already had to have money to have laserdisc, but BD is a format for the relative masses.

Home entertainment in general was a total luxury. Video tapes used to be so expensive that the only way to watch a large selection of tapes at home was to rent them, usually along with a rented VCR too. It’s just not that way anymore.
