So it looks like they raised the price of DVDs by about $5.

There has been a demand for "no frills" DVD releases that are a few dollars cheaper that the special additions - they are finally starting to do this. The no frills DVDs cost $19.99 (the same price that the special edition DVDs used to cost) and the special editions are running $24.99 (what used to be $19.99).

Net effect a masked $5 increase in DVD prices.

so dvd sales will decrease and they will lower the prices again...

its a vicious cycle

4/4/2006 3:16:30 PM

Remember paying $40 all the time for special editions around 1999-2000?

No, you probably don't.

i try to pay no more than $10 for dvds

4/4/2006 3:55:37 PM

this is why you never buy a dvd brand new.

4/4/2006 3:58:57 PM

its not like the ending changes the 2nd time you watch it... why buy alot of dvds in the 1st place?

4/4/2006 4:30:53 PM

I know, I mean what's up with radio stations playing songs more than once?

COUNT IT!


baaahhzing

4/4/2006 4:47:48 PM

people listen at different times, but over-played songs can get old.

a better comparison would have been

I know, I mean what's up with me listening to a 2 hour song on cd playing songs more than once?

And many movies have plot elements that aren't as good once you know whats coming.

I didn't mean to say that people shouldn't buy dvds, but I just don't know why someone would buy so many dvds that $5 could break their budget.

Also, you people (and by "you people" I mean "jbtilley") have nothing to complain about until you've bought Gimme Shelter or Rushmore at ~$40 a pop.

4/5/2006 12:12:48 AM

Or Clerks.

FUCKING CLERKS.

4/5/2006 12:15:48 AM

Oh fuck, I forgot about that.

Clerks was $32 for a lonnnnnnnng time, and it was just the DVD transfer of the SE LaserDisc.

4/5/2006 1:06:11 AM

some of us still haven't bought rushmore


my soul is like

but i just always pick it up and walk around
and something in me says "THATS TOO MUCH MONEY"

BUT IT HAS THE SKITS FROM THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS
and thats why at some point, i will buy it

4/5/2006 1:06:29 AM

I hate how all the old good movies are so much more that the new crappy movies

4/5/2006 1:29:47 AM

If I'm buying DVDs I'm usually doing the "2 for $12" or "3 for $25" at Blockbuster. It's not like it matters how the case looks.

4/5/2006 10:47:13 AM

^thats what i do now mostly too

4/5/2006 10:49:28 AM

HD DVDS will be 30 dollars when they come out. I think the first one they are releasing is Batman Begins....

dvdfile.com has more details, if it is still up.

4/5/2006 5:24:21 PM

NetFlix

Anything else is beyond retarded.

4/5/2006 5:26:29 PM

there are very few DVDs that are actually worth buying.
