DVD is old news... 10 bucks is too much this day
Now for Blu-ray, undoubtedly that's a super bargain

The ps3 is the cheapest blu-ray player on the market. Sony is fucking retarded.

Meh- I bought DVD in '97 for 800 bucks brand new...
...soooo fuck Blu Ray in its overpriced ass for the next decade or so. It'll take at least ten years for DVD to die out in North America- people love the format. Blue Rays interactivity just doesn't impress me. Why do I care that I can access the menu while the movie's paused. When the fuck did I need that before?

The only thing I need to be crystal clear is sports. I mean if a DVD is too "gritty" and "grainy" for you to watch enjoyably then you are half a step short of walking into a big heaping puddle of 'you're a pussy'.
On another note I'm guessing these dvds are like Blockbuster releases without the special features?

Good luck with that. DVD's never dropped from 40 bucks until about 2003. Blu Ray will do as all new technology does- make customers believe its worth top dollar for several years.
When you can buy a Blu Ray player for 30 to 60 bucks, you'll start seeing cheaper disks.

Blurays are usually 20-30 dollars in store, some even cheaper online. 20 is fine for a Bluray it's what I paid for DVDs at like Target in Best Buy 5 or so years ago.

DVD is just too mainstream right now for it to die. I only buy Blu-ray for the more recent blockbusters and older action films. Because movies these days are being shot in HD now and usually DVD's can't do justice on the picture quality like Blu-ray can on those films. So i don't buy everything on Blu-ray. DVD still looks good as long as you got an HDMI cable. Holy crap "Predator" on Blu-ray looks like it was made like a year ago!

I love Blu Ray movies. I don't buy every movie in Blu Ray though because most comedies or dramas don't need to be in high def. But I definitely pick up every good action or sci-fi pick that comes out. Thanks Cyberpunkcentral for the heads-up on Predator, I'll definitely be picking that one up soon.

I shop on amazon.com for my Blu-rays and rarely pay over 20 dollars for them. The crystal clarity of uncompressed master audio (6 mbps) is worth the price tag, alone. Fear not, though; your precious DVDs will continue to drop in price as Blu-ray technology continues to take over.
Within a year, the average price of a Blu-ray at Best Buy will be 20 dollars. Mark my words.

The last Few new Blu Ray's have been cheaper than my new DVD's of the past 2 years so yes the prices are dropping. Thats how this goes with the Home video market, not like we can complain about Blu Ray or DVD when they first came out they were a bargin compared to what VHS used be 100 Dollars.

@ KatManDu:
I do... for most movies. But for my favorite movies, like Heat, 2001, Bladerunner, etc etc, I want the uncompressed audio. Show me a Blu-ray rip that keeps the uncompressed audio in place. It's not fathomable because the file size would be way too big. They're already 8GB on average, and that's compressed to 720p. It just depends on your priorities. I'm settled down, my family and I love watching movies, so that's an expense I've chosen to take on. Once you hear a movie in uncompressed surround sound with a decent setup (not some shitty Bose nonsense), there's no going back.

Lol @ those who spend more than 25$ on blu-rays, in the last few months I've haven't spend more than 18$ on a blu-ray movie at the moment Harry Potter, terminator, up + monster Inc, hangover, heat, are all less than 20$ and you get perfect sound and picture quality. Weren't we spending the same on DVDs at one point !! Today In Barnes and Noble I picked up 7 Criterion Blu-rays for less than $17 a piece you guys are looking at the wrong places.

Blu-ray is undergoing changes in prices to attract the masses. The new norm for new Blu-rays will be around 20 dollars. I'm loving it.
