How much are you willing to spend?

[Hypertrophy]

How much are you willing to spend a Blu-ray movie? I'm not talking about box sets. Just your average "new release".

[metsfan1545d]

typically no more then 20 altho there r some exceptions

on imports i usually pony up 35-40 depending on the title

[mikejet]

Depends on what's good about it. I may order the collectors edition of Helvetica for my wife, shes a graphic designer, and that's $125. I spent more than that when I purchased my OOP Criterion Hard Boiled DVD.

Usually though I spend in the 20-30 range.

[brett_day]

depends on the movie really. but anywhere between $15 and $25 is good. i would pay more for certain movies

[mattstat]

I usually like going into a store and buying over amazon or other on-line retailers... So I pay more usually $25-30. $30 is about the max though.

It depends upon the title. Some titles I'll pay only 15 bucks for, or only as part of some 3 for 2 deal, while others I'll pony up 30 bucks to get it right away.

As for imports, a lot of those are blind-buys for me so I won't pay more than 25 for a disc because I have to pay for shipping costs as well. However on imports that are US titles that are not available yet I have ponied up nearly $40 to get them.

i can wait for mine $24.99 i think is the max i paid on amazon.

Price and value differ by title, but a high definition version of a movie I love is surely worth $30.

It's $9 to see in the theater and $30 to own forever.
Seems like a great deal to me.

I ask because Andy Parsons, chairman of the Blu-ray Disc Association, has said blu-ray prices will not go down until we start buying more discs. I argue that prices are too high (and good releases too rare), hence the low volume of sales. Amazon has recently bumped their sale price for discs up slightly. New releases seem to be more expensive this month.

Personally $20 is where I'll buy. I plan on waiting until retailers feel the need to move titles and drop the price. Then I'll buy like crazy.

It is not my intention to start a debate on basic economic theory so please hold those for a different thread.

Less than $20, tax included.

[Blu-Benny]

i try to not spend more than $25, but w/the new pricing that seems to be coming for new releases, that may be difficult.

[Crim122]

Seeing how I buy about all of them used or off amazon I usually pay in the 16 - 20 dollar range. Which is about all im willing to pay unless its something GREAT

[My_Two_Cents]

Typically, no more than $20, and most of mine have been purchased for ~$15. The most I paid (and was then refunded ) was $25+ for Iron Man from Tower, but that was only because I wanted it early (didn't work out too well) and because IMO, that movie was worth the extra $$. I'll probably pay similar for DK when released.

[PanasonicPlasmaMan]

I would rather spend $30 on a movie i like rather then save $10 and get a movie thats not worth watching more than once.

[bajor27]

Generally no more than $25+shipping/tax

[Red Hood]

20 is my max if its been out for a while. 25 on new releases.

[Gremal]

I just spent more than $40 to preorder the Ronin import.

[Ferris]

Personally, I won't wpend more than $24 (excluding tax) on a single blu-ray...sets, yes, bot not a single.

[Ashamed Pegasus]

I paid $42 for Sweeney Todd, so I guess that's how much I'm willing to spend...

[matthewrounds]

I never spend more than $20 on a catalog title and $25 on a new release. Can someone explain why Open Season 2 is $29.95.
