Any word on pre-recorded media?

[Anonymous]

Any word on a player for pre-recorded movies, and when about 10 titles might be released
for it?

When it comes out, sub $1000 is a must for the player, w/ DVI output at least, and component output would be nice.

Hollywood movies need to average $30 or less. In other words, a premium of no more than $10 for the blu-ray edition of a movie's typical DVD edition. Distributors can also save money because in many situations only 1 disc will be required, due to blu-ray capacity.

For example, Lord of the Rings extended edition has 2 DVD9 (dual layer) devoted to the 208 minute movie plus some various sound options. That could fit onto 1 dual layer blu-ray.

Think of it, the ENTIRE LOTR trilogy, each movie on exactly 1 blu-ray disc. I'm not including the bonus materials and such, of course.
