Funny, I see NEITHER as being expensive.
I paid $700-$1000 for an LD player and $75-$100 for discs until the introduction of DVD. Blu-ray is an absolute bargain, TODAY.
The great restorations to come, where so many classic movies of the past have a chance to be brought back to life and presented as most of us have NEVER seen them needs to be paid for by those willing to pay the premium.
Now, a common blockbuster new release definitely should come down. It will sell so many discs and the economies of scale and ease of authoring should be passed on. But what about a work of art, lovingly restored?
