DVD is in 90% of TV households. BD is in less than 10%.

Hollywood thinks short term. So which will respond better for them when a price reduction is contemplated/instituted?

According to Sony - the price of a DVD is the same as it was in 2004. There have been no price increases - and there have been no price decreases either.

When people start to feel that $5 or $10 could be important . . .
On new releases they could definitely cut prices, but that is a double edged sword if they do not cut prices on Blu-Ray, downloads, and VOD. The studios want people to move away from DVD. Not cling to it by further price reductions.
