DVDs are cheaper, but Blu-Ray prices are climbing
The good news regarding the growing popularity of high-definition DVDs: standard DVDs are cheaper than ever. At Circuit City for example, you can get a bunch of flicks for $3.99 each. Yes, some of them are so bad you couldn't pay me $3.99 to watch it. But there are some good ones in the mix, including "Silence of the Lambs," "Reservoir Dogs", and "Capote".
The prices of Blu-Ray players, however, are going up.
Up?
"That's right: Since Toshiba gave up on HD DVD in mid-February, Blu-ray prices - which had been showing some modest declines back in December - have spiked," one tech blogger writes.
Yet another reason you may want to hold off spending that tax rebate check on a Blu-Ray.
