I just picked up Amadeus and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for $14.99 ea at Best Buy. When the price becomes a mere $5 premium over the standard DVD version, I'll go for the Blu-ray.

I know I'm not alone, and I suspect the studios and retailers are finally figuring this out. In this poor economy, I expect more sales and have been very disappointed at how stubborn the stores have been on Blu-ray pricing - especially on the older movies. After a year, I still have less than 30 Blu-ray discs in my collection.

After about 2 years, I have bout 50, some of which were free.
In my case, its more about selection, or lack thereof. I keep hoping BD will catch on, so they'll finally put out more titles I want.
We'll see.
