You're an idiot. They are JACKING PRICES UP, not down.
DVD releases of old 60's movies were $12 to $15.
The HD pricing is all over the place, and has nothing to do with how
good a flic is or is not. The only thing to do is wait until a year or
so after an item gets released, and buy it after it really does drop.
$28.95 is looking like the norm now, and they all act like they are
doing you a favor, as the MSRP is $39.99!
We got dragged into this realm specifically so they could jack up the
prices, and STILL provide the same old, tired crap. PAPER liners, no
inserts, and no frills first releases, and a follow up of a "Special
Edition", followed further by an "Ultimate Edition".
If Americans had any brains at all, they would 100% boycott BOTH form
factor releases that are priced such that it feels as though the screwing
we are getting isn't worth the screwing we are getting!
