Default Replication costs actually favor Blu-ray

Hd dvd hardcore supporters always throw the costs in your face, but the 5 disc version of Blade Runner at amazon.com costs the same on both formats.
Here is a link that actually shows costs of replication: http://wesleytech.com/blu-ray-vs-hd-...zed-again/113/
Notice on the first box chart that the per disc cost of the double layer hd dvd (30gb) which is closer in size to the single layer blu-ray (25gb) the cost is the same. If you scroll further down the page you will see that for a batch of 5,000 of these discs the hd dvd costs $9,500 while the blu-ray discs cost less at $9,000.
It is obvious from these figures that if hd dvd starts putting movies on their triple layer 51gb disc that they will indeed cost more than the double layer 50gb blu-ray discs since the cost is more determined by the layer than the format. With blu-rays at 25gb per layer and hd dvds at 15gb per layer the argument about blu-ray replication being more expensive is actually a reversal of the truth.
