I can't imagine that they'd sell for much more than $20. I think that
is the mainstream acceptance pricepoint and that if they (standard Non
Uber Deluxe editions, i mean) are priced much higher, I think they
won't sell well.

In fact, although b/c of early manufacturing costs, the first
generations of HD/BR disc should be more expensive than current DVDs, I
think they ought to consider loss-leadng them at BELOW current DVD
prices to encourage adoption.

I mean, one of the MAIN reasons I jumped from LD to DVD as an early
adopter was b/c DVDs were priced substantially lower than the LD.
