Now that the players have come down to Wal-Mart prices and everyday people can afford them maybe the studios should think about dropping the prices to near DVD levels. I grudgingly fork over ~$50 for a video game that I can get enjoyment from for weeks or months so I am certainly not paying ~$25+ for a movie I might watch a couple of times and shelve.

Yeah but I bet that game didn't cost over 150 million dollars to make... Thats the price of movies. With the overinflated salaries of movie stars to millions in promotions and commercials etc...
Another reason thefts of DVD's are down is because the low-life thief can probably just download a dvd-rip off the internet and burn his own copy which is something the majority cannot really do with blu-ray. Oh and a side-note, the majority of thieves are middle-class people who could afford it in the first place.
