Maybe because after the war ended, the price of bluray went way up?

that and the units still cost a lot by "normal consumer standards". you can get a DVD burner for your computer for 20 bucks, and a stand alone DVD player for your tv for like 30-40. BD-ROM drives are now $130 on newegg and burners are still around $270 for entry level drives, and the TV hookup units are more still. also dont forget, you have to spend extra money on an expensive TV and a 5.1 sound system for it to even be worth having a blu-ray drive in the first place, since anything less will just look and sound like another dvd

In reality, I couldn't care any less. If people feel the absolutely must have the newest and latest, they should pay the premium without whining about it.

It doesn't matter where it happens. It matters that it happens. How is that hard to understand?
