This Just In, Nobody Buys Blu Ray Movies

http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/207207/blu-ray-numbers-decline-in-september/

Personally i think DVDs are a waste of money so u know i want pay $29.99 for movies

When VHS movies were big, $80 was the norm. One good deal, was Star Trek II, which retailed for only $40.

Kids and their crazy prices.

Blu-Ray is a luxury item, and the economy is weak. This may prompt lower Blu-Rays, which could be great!

The Dark Knight on blu-ray. Can't wait.

This is why they need to realise that digital distribution is the future. A good supplier, a fast stream, and they'd be able to let you rent full-HD movies with no restrictions, and you'd have them within 5 minutes. stappy

digital distribution= no borrowing?

They could decrease the costs alot by digital distributing them. Borrowing is only useful when a movie is expensive.

we have a blue ray player but honestly we havent seen many movies that was actually worth paying 30 bucks for.lost_cheeto

this ftw.

I bought 3 blu ray dvd's today.

I guess I'm nobody. =/

I bet you less than 1/6th of the movie going population has a reliable internet service, let alone all the issues bandwidth is going through nowdays *Comcast* if they start caping bandwidths you might as well shoot Digital distribution in the head now.

ouch sony

nothing's going the way they planned

I have Bluray and HD DVD players. I've got about 50 HD DVDs because there were dirt cheap. I just rent blurays because 35 bucks is too much.mtron32

Again, where are you people shopping that Blurays cost this much?

Not to mention the quality of a DD movie in HD pales in comparison to Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.

I have 62 Blu-Rays and 30 HD-DVDs, so I beg to differ.SpruceCaboose

Jesus.. that's like thousands of dollars..

I think I'll stick to downloading my HD movies. Thanks..

Not if you do it right.

I've bought 1 Blu-ray movies...

I might get a few more soon though.

I saw pictures of some guy's setup and he had all 4 Saw movies on Blu Ray.

Well, my family wants to start with Blu Ray soon, since we got an awesome new TV.

The only BR movies I buy are for my kids....Cars...Surfs Up etc. We have about 5 of them..It makes sense because they freaking watch them 5 times a day..

The rest are just plain rentails..30+ dollars for a move is ridiculous

You would need to take steel wool to one, and even that might not do it.

in other news The Godfather is on blu-ray :D

Maybe because most people aren't willing to shell out more money for a higher quality picture when gas and food prices are digging them a new butthole?

When we're better off, we'll start buying again. These slumps are normal, it's been occurring for a very, vey long time.

Granted, the ridiculous gas and food prices aren't, and I can easily see that cutting a gash in Sony's profits.

I prefer to rent a digital copy of a movie. Paying $30.00 for something I will look at once is a waste for me.Deihmos

Netflix rocks.
I'm getting They Live tommorow in the mail.

I can get any movie I want, without having to go to the store just to see if they have a copy that hasn't been stolen or if they have one at all.

This just in ever heard of a movie slump? This usually happens in between the summer blockbuster and holiday blockbuster season. When not alot of quality films get released after Indy, Ironman, and the Dark Knight oops and that movie with Will Smith get released lets see what the numbers look light. Until then articles like these get filed in the circular file system.2beers_in_hand

I'm waiting for all those!
