You are 100% correct. I've said it over and over that in order for a hi-rez format to succeed other than as a niche format it needs software from name artists on mainstream labels at about CD pricing. On the DVD-A side as far as pricing of such things, only Warner has committed to price them in the CD ballpark. The depressed music industry will not get less depressed with $25 list price DVD-As from EMI or BMG that will basically be sold to fanatics of the particular artist vs. the mass market. With DSOTM coming to DVD-A, if it will be $25 list from EMI, someone being partial to surround sound can enjoy the CD layer on the hybrid in DPLII or Neo6 or any of the modern surround modes built into modern processor for about $10 less per piece of software. The other part of the problem as pointed out by Warner in the recent stereophile article is minimal retailer support, and, little wonder without even a std. size case for all releases and retailers' primarily set up to stock CD or DVD-V sized software.
