OK. Thanks, Johan.

Here in the USA I usually buy from Amazon. I don't buy the new blockbuster films; I usually buy catalogue titles. Anyway, I usually spend between $10-20. Lately, I bought La Femme Nikita ($10.99) and An American in Paris ($14.99). I also bought South Pacific for $12.99 from Costco (big-box chain).

Anyway, I don't see BDs as being any more expensive than DVDs were at this stage of their life. And, don't forget that you get more w/ a BD, so I think it's correct that they cost more than DVDs.

I have to admit that Paramount's price of $27.49 (or rather, Amazon's discounted price) for The African Queen is a bit steep, especially because it doesn't have lossless audio.

Best,
Doug
