In my opinion, the side that can get their discs down to $25 a movie like DVD's will come out ahead.

I have about 25 blu ray discs and my average cost for them have been around $13.
And i think going from 480 lines of resolution to 1080 lines is pretty significant. Like going from 240 lines for a VHS tape to 480 lines for a regular dvd. People who can't notice the difference do not have the right equipment, or did not set it up properly.
