We would NOT buy blu-ray.  How the packaging comes is meaningless for us as we repackage in allegedly theft-proof DVD containers.

I am dealing with a film where the producer is considering releasing it Blu-Ray ONLY. It is a very visual film that I imagine will look great, but I also imagine that will cut down on sales. One alternative is to release a standard HD Copy but with bare bone boxing Vs the Blu-Ray.

Any feedback on if you would not buy blu-ray or not buy something in generic box would be appreciated.

You can email me directly if you want.
