This is so funny. I asked the group for feedback on one of the TOUCH tracks recently and no one replied. Blu-Ray comes up and away we go.

But the "expensive" part is paying all the license and DRM fees to the blu-ray group. Unless they lower these rate, there will never be a Yello blu-ray release.
The fees were lowered this summer and the savings are up to 75% compared to earlier, according to http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3027 For example, the AACS costs for a first-time Blu-ray Disc publisher (for a run of 2,000 copies) has dropped from $4,380 (3,000 + 1,300 + 0.04 * 2,000) to just $1,080 (500 + 500 + 0.04 * 2,000), that is to say, a saving of over 75%. So unless there are some hidden fees or strange technical definitions not seen in this equation, Yello would have to pay less than 1100 dollars to make 2000 BluRays. That's about half a dollar per disc made/sold.
