I want to know why they don't price some stuff like in the VHS days: new DVDs MSRP is $100/disc. - TFox Mar 10, 12:48 12
- it's all about impulse buying by people who have to have every movie they mildly enjoyed. This is why discs are on the shelves within 3 months -- nm - zork Mar 10, 13:05
- Because Blockbuster was the main reason for that high price. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 10, 12:58
- They finally figured out that they make more money on sales than on rentals. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 12:48 9
  - But that can't be true for everything. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 12:50 8
    - I think it's true for most things. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 10, 13:03 7
      - ok, good to know. thanks. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 13:05 6
        
        Keep in mind that that is just how I think things work. I could be wrong. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 10, 13:13 5
        
        if Walmart wants to order 4 million copies @$3 and Blockbuster wants 20,000 @$50 who would you ship to? -- nm - zork Mar 10, 13:17 4
        
        Depends on the cost of packaging. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:24 3
        
        If you're losing over $10M on packaging, you need a new method of distribution. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 10, 13:42 1
        
        Yeah. It's called Digital. :P -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:47
        
        you do realise that I was pulling those numbers out of my ass, don't you? although I'm sure the real ones would be even better -- nm - zork Mar 10, 13:40
The plan is to deny the special DVDs from the rental market. -- nm - Mop Mar 10, 12:47
