Back in the day, when this Newsgroup was still fairly new and Norm Wilner
was the "DVD Guru", there were some people who "stood up" and argued that
DVD's need Rental Pricing, that is, the policy that a movie released on a
format, should be priced very high for the first few months (around
$60-$70.00) so that the "video rental stores" could make their bucks; if you
wanted to have the DVD right away, fine, but you would pay the high premium,
wheras if you waited a few months, it'd be $20-$25.00 or so.
I argued then that it was a bad idea, and that most DVD afficianados
preferred their DVD's with the cheap price right from the get-go.
Is there one single person reading this who think Rental Pricing is the way
to go for DVD's?
