In Reply to: The studios are trying the same strategy they tried with DVD. posted by oscar on February 19, 2009 at 15:58:40:
In the early '90s I remember spending $20 on a new VHS and those $20 were worth a lot more in 1990 than $20 today. Blu-ray is amazingly cheap for the quality. This isn't just the same strategy as DVD. Every new technology is introduced at a high pricepoint and comes down over the years.
