+1

If I want it, I buy it no matter what it costs.

I'd spend 40 on Iron Man.

I'd spend 200 on D.E.B.S!!!

Definitely anything on Conan the Barbarian

It depends on the title.

On average I would say anything more than $25 makes me hesitate.

I would spend upwards of $50 on any Malick film on Blu-ray, but that's me; I love his films. Will I spend $25 on The Mist? No. If it were $10, would I? Also no, because I didn't particularly like the film. So, price - to a reasonable point - doesn't mean a great deal when it comes to films I love or don't love: If I love it, I'll buy it; if I don't, I will not buy it.

It's a very relative thing. I'll take the question to refer to your average catalog title that the consumer in question likes, doesn't love. For instance, I liked the new Indiana Jones film a great deal. However, the Blu-ray on Amazon is $27. That's too much. If it were $14, would I buy it? Probably. If it liked it a tad more, I might be willing to pay $20. It depends. I will never spend more than $20 for a movie I just 'liked'.

23 USD but that's an average:

10-15 USD for a catalog title or relatively small budget new movie
25-27 USD for a new big budget movie (Transformers, Iron Man, etc)
40-50 USD for Japanese domestic releases (you can't find them cheaper than that anyway)

Damn mandated expedited shipping!!!! 200 yen(20 bucks)

Hypertrophy · 10-02-2008, 09:08 PM

Transformers just dropped below $20...that's all it takes. Now for IronMan and Incredible Hulk.

olds403 · 10-02-2008, 09:17 PM

None of the above, I refuse to pay more than $15-17 for a blu-ray.

walk on the blu side · 10-02-2008, 09:29 PM

About 25.00 including tax or shipping.

BigFoot · 10-03-2008, 07:39 AM

It depends on the title. I'd gladly pay $30 for any of the LOTR movies. I also don't have a problem paying up to $25 for new releases of movies that I really want (Transformers, Iron Man). OTOH, I'm not paying more then $15 for catalog titles that I already own on DVD.

arush5268d · 10-03-2008, 07:42 AM

I won't even spend $20 - so I didn't vote.

Canada · 10-07-2008, 05:50 AM

Depends, if it a new movie from Warner and it doesn't have lossless Warner can keep it.

theprophecy247 · 10-07-2008, 05:58 AM

depends

CheapChildren · 10-07-2008, 06:00 AM

$25 is max. I always feel guilty when I spend that much on a single title though.
