I know no one ever buys DVDs for msrp, but damn, when did it become
$29.99? I remember when most msrps were about $19.99 and a couple
(ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING for eg) were $29.99 and discounted at Best
Buy to $24.99 and it just sorta boggled my mind as $20 was the sort of
magic price point for me.

Now, it seems that everytime i check out a new release, the msrp is
$29.99 and the ticketed price is $19.99. Is this just a case of
"Marking up and Discounting"?

I was planning on getting MAD HOT BALLROOM and figured it should be
$19.99 and discounted first week to $16.99 or better (my threshhold for
purchase has dropped lately). Nope. $29.99 and down to $19.99 -
$24.99 depending on where I shop.

I guess I'll just rent it and I'll be better off, really b/c likely i
wasn't going to watch it more than a couple of times... EVER, but
still...

ah wlel..
