Stop making the blasted players and start phasing out the discs, BR players are dirt cheap and the discs can be picked really reasonably. I can't believe that both formats still exist like they do, their was a sense that the tide was turning but when the likes of C4 do this we are just going backwards.

I've heard a number of times the industry is disappointed with BR sales well they've only got themselves to blame.

Though then we get special edition BR box sets coming out with a huge fanfare like the recent Twin Peaks box set. I don't get it.

Rant over!

Paramount have got behind blu-ray for these special editions, and they've kept the prices high throughout to ensure they won't lose money on them, I brought Star Trek - The Original Series for £45 the other day, which as far as I can tell is the lowest list price it's ever been (£155 off the RRP, meaning it was likely to be close to £200 on release).

The trouble is are customers willing to put up with high prices for these sets?
