minimalist: it doesn't matter how long it took DVD to drop to $17.99 on a new release. People are used to that price and will not pay $30 for a new release. I am a big time HT junkie and have bought lots of movies in both blu-ray and hd-dvd, but lately I just can't justify $30-35 unless it is a title I'm really looking forward to, and even then it feels like I'm being gouged.
If they can get the new release price to around $20-22, and catalog title price to around $15-18 I think it will start to catch on.
