audiodave Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 FINALLY!!! We've seen drum corps through the HD Camera lens! Will we be able to buy Blu Ray DVD's this winter? Blu Ray pricing is generally about double that of a standard dvd, Would you pay $199 for HD Finals? Given the capacity, $199 should get you the top 17 at least. What should the price be? What would you be willing to pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you be willing to pay? I'm thinking Blu-Ray costs would be a lot higher for a small-volume run than for commercial titles. Don't know if DCI would pony-up for this. They'd probably make more money selling HD downloads via iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be more cost effective than putting out a Blu-Ray compilation. To answer the original question, I'd be willing to be $200 for the Blu-Ray version. Think of all of the extra content the discs could have! The idea of having all 10 judges' tapes at the click of a button is pretty awesome.

Ed Boxer Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Blue ray video may be great, but I'm personnally terriified at the thought of the sound on this year's DVDs. I certainly can't see paying double for a better picture with really bad sound. Edited August 11, 2009 by Ed Boxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I agree with the HD downloads - I think that would be a better route to go. (Either iTunes or straight from FN is fine by me.) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really disappointed with the recordings from the first amplified year and hardly listen to them at all anymore. Modern studio engineering can make Britney sing in tune, but it can't fix what happened in LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
