Yes.
But then, I am off my rocker
I don't see a problem with £15...
£20, yes. £25, yes. £30, yes.
But £15? What's wrong with £15?
I remember when DVDs first came out.... £20 or more for a crappy bare-bones double-sided "flipper" disc...
As I said before, obviously older films will be cheaper on DVD than brand new films.
I have no problem with paying £15 for a movie, if it's gonna have better picture & sound quality.
Each to their own...

No contest. Anyone who can't see that Blu-Ray aren't expensive form the above comparison is off their rocker.

More expensive: Yes.
Too expensive to buy: Not IMO.
Hulk is the only one of those that's brand new, and it's only a fiver difference.
An example of something not yet out (Play.com again):
The Dark Knight - DVD: £11.99
The Dark Knight - BD - £14.99
3 quid extra. Big deal.

I agree there's little point in MS releasing a BD drive for the 360.
They couldn't use one for games (as it'd fracture the userbase), plus they consider downloads to be the future for movies etc.
