It's taken a while for the blu-ray format to take off. Really! The fact that a hugh number of the movies cost the best part of £20 might have something to do with it, you think?
I was in Tesco earlier and had to laught at the fact that they were selling Underworld on DVD for £3 but wanted £15 for the blu-ray. Which do you think will sell more copies?
Machine sales have started to rise though, according to the press. A big part of this has to be the drop in price. £80 now gets you a good, branded machine that will also do a fine job of upscaling you DVD collection. At this sort of price level a lot of people will pay the extra over a new DVD player so they can have the latest tech', even if they don't plan on buying many, if any, blu-ray discs.
Untill the price of movies drops I like I suspect many others will stick with buying old fashioned dvd and leave the blu-ray buying to those that are looking for something to get me as a gift.
