I really do have a sense of deja vu.
After the events of last year, I don't think anything would surprise me anymore.
Yeah, I am still a little gun shy, but Warner has no where else to go. Sure they can drop BD and that MIGHT eventually kill it since they are the largest studio AND much of the public would lose confidence in the BD format if they did, but until it actually died it would STILL hurt SD DVD sales, and no one knows how much of the drop is economy based, and how much is fence sitters waiting to buy into BD but not buying much on SD DVD while they wait.

Either way at this point follywood will be hurting for revenue for a while IMO. They were getting too fat anyway IMO so this will possible be a good thing in the end, with more realistic movie budgets, and better consumer costs EVENTUALLY.

IO am hoping that this was said by Warner as a wakeup call to the other studios to lower prices some like Warner has done for the sake of the format and their future revenue streams.
