Prices on players need to drop to $200 and below for basic models Prices on movie and other content need to be at about the same prices or just minimal premium for BD version, times for studios charging $40 for a movie on BD is ridiculous, also to charge that $40 for movies which are avail for $12 on DVD as back catalog is even more insane.
Customers need a good priced HD option, NOT to be gouged. hence, slower adoption and people could try Digital Downloads instead
Studios already have a moneymaker in DVD's. What's the point in investing in new technology (Bluray) if they can't charge a premium for it? Take away the premium and what really is the incentive for the studios at this time?
the incentive for the studios should be getting to double dip there in entire back catalog on blu but instead they are price gouging everybody on movies that have been out for years
The incentive for studios is to not be out done by other studios. If only Paramount and Sony were releasing movie in HD then more of the writers, actors, directors and producers would gravitate to those studios. This would result in the studios not adopting new technology to be left behind.
Consumers eventually would too, although the only studio worthy of any loyalty/favoritism right now would be Pixar.
