U serious?
dude, they KNOW early adopters have the cash to burn and the instant wow factor is whats keeping prices high.
I agree that BD prices for old movies are an absolute rort, but prices will come down eventualy... i remember DVD movies were 80bux a pop when they were first released.. blank discs were 40bux...
In addition, there is no need to "upgrade" an SD movie to HD unless HD has some value added content.
Most of the time, BD ad HD DVD players have some pretty incredible scaling routines, and an upscaled DVD will be compariable to a "remastered" movie released on BD
