They probably need to shift Blue Ray as the next technical innovation
will make them all pointless.

BluRay not caught on yet with Joe Public, a lot of people do not want

pay more for a BluRay over normal DVD price.

Blu-ray doesn't offer the same degree of improvement over DVD that the
latter did over VHS.

Often an upscaled DVD can look (almost) as good as a BD so there's
little point in paying the extra.

True... I only buy BDs at discount prices - when they're approx the same
as DVDs.

Amazon and ChoicesUK worth a look.

If you wait a while many of the box-sets are available on BD at a
fraction of the initial price and then represent v good value.

Thanks for the choices link - v. useful.

On there, Lord of the Rings on DVD at 4 quid each; extended BR set 70
quid!
Ouch!

And they moan about slow uptake!
