The third quarter retail numbers were horrible and it looks like people aren't going to be spending much this holiday season, because of the fears of a recession.

Blu ray prices MUST come down.

I'm talking...
DVD $15
Blu ray $20

$35?
I buy my BDs at Best Buy, and rarely meet or exceed $29.95.
You may be surprised at the dollars to be spent this Holiday Season - just because of the fact of the possibly impending recession.
