Is Disney Blu-ray over price? - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

I couldn't answer your poll, because the option of "They are UNDER priced" wasn't there.

I think given the current demand/elasticity..... they should raise their prices, and the coupons are "unnecessary"

Did Blue Neo post vote 75 times?

I voted for it's fair. For the amount of spins they get, it's worth it.

Prices are too high and will definitely stop many mainstream consumers from buying into Blu-Ray when the DVD version is significantly cheaper (often by $20).

With their new marketing campaign you wont be able to buy the dvd cheaper. Snow White is coming out in Bluray/DVD combo bundles only.

I think all new Blu-ray releases are overpriced. I also believe that excessive pricing is the single most important issue holding back the format at this point. There is empirical evidence too. Look at how well Watchmen sold on release day. There was a spike in Blu-ray to DVD sales for the week as well (30/70).

ALL single releases (new movies) should street for $19.95 at the most.

ALL catalog titles should street for $14.95.

The problem is movies are not priced to sell on release day (with very few exceptions) and this problem is holding down the format from exploding.
