Disney To Raise Blu-ray Prices?
Despite the fact that research shows that consumers already think Blu-rays are priced too high, Disney may soon be raising the retail price of their releases.
Disney reported a 64% first quarter decline, and Disney CEO Robert Iger seems to believe that customers will be willing to pay more for the “added value” that Blu-ray releases provide (hi-def picture, digital copy, etc.).

According to dvdpricesearch, the lowest price on Bolt currently is $26.99. My kids can deal with watching the standard version for the price difference.

Re: Disney To Raise Blu-ray Prices?
This was posted already-- I'm far too lazy to do a look-up, though.
I'll be paying $15 for Bolt on BD once I price-match Toys R Us and use the $10 manufacturer's coupon.

I searched the forum and didnt find a post on this. Mr. Iger apparantley hasnt realized we are in a recession and Blu-ray is still a luxury to many. He may get more for the vault classics, but I dont think newer movies will command already high prices.

given you aren't too proficient with searching threads and by the looks of it your deal searching skills lack as well I will also provide the following service by letting you know there is a $10 off Bolt Blu Ray coupon that can be easily had making the release a 14.99 - 16.99 blu ray release depending on where you pick it up at. This is also before any other related (pasta) rebates available as well.
dvdpriceseach while a nice starting point certainly is not all inclusive as it certainly does not represent b&m pricing and often is out of date with current online pricing
Just a little bit of research and your kids could be enjoying the BD with an included copy of the SD dvd at a fair price point

^ Musick beat me to it.
But this brings up a point about searching. People are always complaining about the search function here at DVDtalk. One problem is that there are a confusing number of ways to search. It seems like there is a search button every few inches on the screen.
I've heard of some of the search buttons/functions not working well, but I always have success with the one way that I've learned to search.
I go to the "search" link in the middle of each forum page, the one on the line with User CP, FAQ, ....., Search, ....., Log Out. I click "Search" once to pull down the little sub-menu, and click "advanced search". Then I search for a keyword with "search titles only" selected. Works perfectly for me.

"search this forum" right under the page count at the top seems to work just fine in all situations for me (if you are logged in at all times)
