Most BRs can be had to $5-12 with patience. Myself, I recommend getting out of the high stakes new release marketing arena. The feet moved with the pricing - and Walmart moved up the Blu-ray share ladder. Most of the blockbuster BR new releases during the holidays this year featured under $20 pricing on release week as a result of this bid for market share. During the recent holidays, Walmart aggressively lowered BR pricing and SD DVD pricing looking to capture more foot traffic. Look no further than the Q4 2009 price war. so the pricing is lower most part for new releases.
SD DVDs continue to bring in more foot traffic. Retailers want foot/web traffic from the sales of new release movies which are fresh, never before available product. Terms like "adding value" is technical marketing at it's finest. The costs clearly go up with these additions, and yet the MSRP of Blu-ray releases from studios haven't budged (except maybe at Disney). The addition of digital copies and now SD DVDs in new releases is spreading quickly. For instance, look at the way they are adding bullet points to BR releases. Volume for new releases is more important than expenses. The studios wish to make more money from BR product and this is done by racketing up volume even if it costs more and more. The cost of producing product has little to do with the pricing by the studios. A little more for the BR can get you a ton of additional image and sound information surprisingly.Īs a result, I call the pricing difference here technical marketing. There is no easy/direct correlation between BR pricing delta and the additional video and audio resolution or features. at least in terms of MSRP from the studios. Still, the delta on new release BR and SD DVD movies is quite modest often. They are currently making more off of SD DVD titles because of volume, and have been pricing BR releases at slightly higher premium as a technical marketing move.

Studios want massive volume for the directly resulting revenue from the sales of new movie releases. The motives for studios and retailers differ in the US. and is based largely on the highest price studios and retailers think people will buy titles at in massive numbers. Pricing of Blu-ray is set by the studios and retailers. Hell we the members of this forum are pretty good at warning others of shit gone bad or when stuff is golden. DVDbeaver, this site, and others are great help. I suggest you read up on the Blus you're going to buy to be safe on your purchase. (500) Days of Summer looks great and has any and all features, it's DVD.did not have them all.Įnter The Dragon looks great and has all the features it's 2 disc had. It has everything the 2 disc had on one Blu disc and then some. Last Blu and the DVD just have no features and it's just the movie.ĮX: The Dark Knight is TONS better than it's DVD (though.the DVD wasn't all that hot it was ok, some even cried it was a conspiracy of sorts for people to hit Blu and what.only if you really looked could you tell it was off but yeah it wasn't a hot DVD)įight Club for sure is a great Blu. Again.this or that studio may not put the old features on the Blu.it's all based on whether the studio cared to do that or not. Yes, this can be a bitch for those that are only DVD atm but.for those of us w/ Blu.we got it made. In some cases, the wealth of features will be on the Blu-Ray and not on the DVD. Also they're able to contain much more features than previously. EVERY once in a while.you'll find that well.guess this or that studio didn't do a good job on it.

Usually the Picture and Audio quality is much better, to me it's like I literally have the quality of my cinema in my room ( depends on your set up but.i just have my badass TV and it's still damn amazing). But whatever.īlus can do a lot more than what a DVD can do. No offense but.I thought that was point of every new video format? To be better than what was before.
