Post Blu-ray discs set for possible price hike
http://www.techradar.com/news/video/blu ... ke--667465

No matter what the outcome, I'm happy to say I don't buy too many of either these days as the average film now is, well, just that... It certainly wouldn't help BR any though :oops:

Yes they are all over priced. I still have not made the switch to Blu Ray. Maybe next decade? ;)

The cost of BR discs is one of the reasons I don't have more than three BR films. Make it as dirt cheap as DVDs and I'd be happier.

You'll probably have to wait until the next gen after BR has been available for several years. This is the way of things usually.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Judging from what blank CDRs and DVDRWs cost, the material cost is , say 25p, Even if it doubles, not much of a price change. Should be easily offset by economies of scale if the price was similar to a DVD
