Giving Thanks for Blu-ray

[GregBlu5]

For us U.S.'ers, we can be thankful for Blu-ray for one (and some might think *surprising*) reason: price. I randomly researched four upcoming Blu titles for early next year and compared them to their SD equivalents*:

War:

22.49 SD vs 27.95 Blu

Suburban Girl:

19.99 SD vs 22.95 Blu

Breaker Morant:

13.99 SD vs 19.95 Blu

Resident Evil:

17.99/9.49/17.99 SD (purchased individually) vs 62.95 Blu box set

Some may have complained--and ordinary and/or unaware consumers may shy away--regarding the price of Blu-ray disks not on sale; however, when you look at those comparisons above, considering what you're getting, Blu ain't bad at all.

Without Blu-ray being around, we'd be paying what I consider lousy prices for new releases and getting, well, same ol'. plain ol' DVD's. I, for one, am most thankful for Blu.
