when the war is over.....

The price of BD will be determined by several things.

1) Replication cost. It must be closer to DVD.
2) BD consumers. The more people buy BD players, the lower the cost can be.
3) HDTV migration in the US. The more Americans own HDTVs (by 2009), the more HD content they'd want to see at their own time.

The price of hardware and software have nowhere to go but down.

The price of a BD will be determined by only one thing, what the studio want to charge us. The replication costs, consumer rights, all of that doesn't matter. Fox will continue to charge us a lot for a BD just because they feel like it.

Once BD has won the war, the cost of replication will be minuscule and there will be a ton of players out there, but the studios will charge what they think their product is worth.
