A quick coment on Robert`s story on pricing
surely bringing the prices for old films down will
only boost sales and atract new buyers to the dvd
market
Couldn`t agree more - it seems the studios (or Universal at least given Eddie Cunningham`s remarkable comments) would rather sell fewer units at a higher price than more units at a lower price. Rather a bizarre business model (well, bizarre from my point of view).
Despite having the most annoying cases on Earth, I think Warner have definitely been at the forefront of pushing DVD in the UK. They certainly have one of the better PR companies anyway. MGM and Fox`s won`t even take the internet seriously, shows how backward they are.
Its about time a major studio produced a sensible pricing strategy like this, rather than selling regular stuff at £19.99 and then charging over that for anything remotely special.
I quite like the Warner klip cases... the foldout sections are cool!
I understand both points of view about the pricing, but if you tell a company they can manufacture less, sell at a higher price and make the same cash, what do you think they`ll do?
Companies run on profit, not good will.
Damn them!!!
Even in the early days of region 1 warner had the best range and pricing.
I believe they are responsible for growth of the dvd format especially
in the states.They brough out titles cheap while the others,ie fox didnt
see the potential.

If they are going to keep using the clip cases they could at least use the protective plastic covers that are available.
Warner are going very bad now, using p*** poor quality prints for their £15.99 dvds. and do poor carbon-copies of the Region 1 disc and stripping out all the extras.
Thats probably only on their back catalogue stuff. Three Kings is superb.
Three Kings has an RRP of £19.99 and most of Warners £19.99 titles are ok
