Either way, it'll be just like any new media. They'll be a little more expensive to begin with, but will eventually come down to the price of the old media.

VHS used to cost around 20-30 bucks to buy a movie. DVDs were originally more expensive, but have now come down in price to what the larger market will bare. The same will happen once a new format has been decided on.
I'm aware that it is possible to rent movies.

It's just that I know lots of people who own 30 or 40 dvd's. At say, $25 bucks a movie that's like $750-1000. And most of the movies only get watched once or twice, or are complete crap. I guess I just don't understand how dvd collections have caught on with so many people.
