I'm just going to say that this thread is worthless. Blu-ray is not "overpriced" in any generalized sense I can see. If it's too expensive for some of you, then Blu-ray will lose your bussiness as a result. However, considering the historical adoption of formats and my understanding of the technology and the market, it's right where it should be. I don't see your displeasure being an indication of anything more substantial.

However, if by some mysterious happenstance, the Blu-ray critics are correct, then only the BD association stands to lose if they've priced Blu-ray wrong. I can't predict the market well enough to determine where Blu-ray will ultuimately go, but I know it's doing fine right now. Anything else seems like worthless speculation to me.
