Yeah, 2000 was a ways into dvd's product life cycle, having started in 1997, though I guess we're getting close to the three year mark for blu-ray soon. But dvd also was the fastest adoped consumer technology ever. It's all about market forces, and once blu-ray hits a wider level of adoption (assuming it does), prices will come down. Unlike dvd, blu-ray had the breaks applied a bit on adoption due to the format war (divx was never a serious threat to dvd), which causes a lot of people to hold off. Now that the way is clear, hopefully we'll see wider adoption and in turn lower prices. This year's holiday season will be a bit telling one on how the blu-ray trend is going.
