Disney considering raising Blu-ray prices?

Imo it's verbal damage control in face of the bad financials they had to present. "Yeah those numbers are bad, but we have the following options....."

Personally i'll simply wait and see, if anything like this happens at all. Which i doubt.

They will make more money by lowering the price. The companies who make the biggest money are those who price things where the most people can afford them.

This is blatantly not true. The companies who make the biggest money are those who price things correctly for the market they are targetting.

The C.E.O. is just giving a plausible explanation and hope for why Disney's revenues may not slump in the coming quarters. For anyone familiar with conference calls, they are as much about smoke and mirrors as anything else and trying to please the analysts that cover the stock. I doubt Disney is really going to be raising BD prices across the board in a slumping economy. What might happen is a few titles get aggressively priced at a higher price point.
