This wont make it out of China... Piracy is rampant in Asia. The only reason WB has jumped on board is because it is an extra source of income in a country where they hardly get any profit from movies anymore. Why buy a new DVD when a pirated copy is out on the street hours after a release in theaters.
I am a former HD-DVD adopter (still am, buying bargain deals on hd-dvd discs from inetvideo.com or any other place where I can get new or combo discs for under $3.00) but the future is definitely "Blu" for the next 7 years.
New discs prices may be high new releases are around 29.99 MSRP from stores and thats not super far off since DVD's are MSRP around 19.99. Im predicting as blu-ray sales continue to pick up soon they'll be 27.99 and then 24.99 and then 19.99.
