Digital Home Thoughts: Suprise - A Good Deal on Something Blue-Ray!

One of the bashing points of Blue-Ray has been price. I think based on prior reports, a lot of us were expecting the movies to be in the $30 to $40 range. Needless to say, I was quite surprised to see Terminator on Blue-Ray going for $11.99 on Amazon. That seems to be the lowest price out there for Blue-Ray movies, but they do also have some other back catalog items (The 5th Element and House of Flying Daggers) for $19.99. More recent titles (Underworld: Evolution) were $26.99. I'm not sure if this is just an Amazon thing or if this is a studio marketing ploy, but it sure is nice to be surprise for once with prices being lower than expected.
