The discs are usually about the same price at retail. If anything,
Blu-ray discs are often a little cheaper, despite their being
(supposedly) more expensive to manufacture. Blu-ray players are still
more expensive than HD, but the relative gap has been shrinking and the
absolute prices of both formats have been declining, as is typical with
new technology.

Blu-ray has twice the capacity of HD. Not a big deal for movies, but an
important consideration in picking the next generation of optical data
storage.
