Word of the Sony camp emerged today about the prices for its next-generation medium Blu-Ray, a film that will be on it. Catalog titles, Sony has announced, will sell for $ 17.95, which is about the price at which the DVDs were sold on after being released on the market a few years back.

is also something to be stressed is the fact that the newly released films that come straight from the theater will be sold at a premium price of $ 23.45. Benjamin Feingold, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is discussed. "The higher pricing structure for new printing is meant to accommodate the sale, rent and the market." It is interesting to see this very competitive pricing strategy for Sony and it looks like it will directly compete with the price of DVD and HD-DVD upon its release and expansion in the coming months. Another interesting thing will be taken into account the price announcement for HD-DVD, which should be soon.

Another thing that Sony will begin the rollout of the DVD / UMD bundle, which will eventually turn into Blu-Ray/UMD package. Sony plans to charge about $ 28.95 for combos such as The Grudge, Resident Evil, Underworld, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and Terminator. This is a great price considering a regular UMD would normally be sold for about $ 25 on your own. It will be published on November 28 March "A lot of people have DVD players and also have PSPs, and so for a price you can get a movie and play it on both formats," Feingold said explaining the move.

In terms of integration Feingold said, "With the launch of Blu-ray, we try to introduce a managed-copy concept, where if you buy a Blu-ray will be able to get Additional versions (same title) to use in your home. "We'll have more news as it was released concerning the launch Blu-Ray, as well as its impact on the upcoming PlayStation 3 launch.
