Then don't buy it. Problem solved. Plenty of other people still will.


I just see some people harping on this like somehow Spiderman 3 is going to cost the BDA the format war and I just don't accept that kind of overhyped doom 'n' gloom.

Obviously I wish (and hope) they find a way to maybe tweak another $5-$10 out of that price before all is said and done.

I've seen discs get announced months out like this and then by the time the release happens you see the final price ends up being different (usually lower) and it all works out.

Patience!


EDIT:

A few things people are forgetting:

This is all going to happen during the big holiday shopping season.

The current BD promotion will end on September 30. I'm fully expecting at least one, if not several, new promotions set up for the holidays. Rebates, discounts, you name it.

On the other end, of course, you're going to see the retailers themselves trying to put as many good sales and sweetheart deals as they can.

My point? I think by the time titles like these Spideys roll out, you'll see plenty of people getting them for a LOT less than $45-$50 a pop.
