i liked this part from TFA :

This growth in TV-DVD is both good and bad for the home entertainment
business in general, Adams said. On the positive side, the higher price
points help maintain profits as prices for theatrical catalog titles
"and even fairly recent hits" sink to new lows, he said.

And yet he can't help but wonder whether all those "complete season"
sets are eating up viewing time that used to be spent watching movies.

"Those are a lot of hours people are buying for $30," Adams said, "as
opposed to a two-hour movie for $20."
