Until the MPAA realizes people are tired of paying $25-30 avg to buy a DVD things will not change We as consumers must realize what we are really paying for when we buy a CD or DVD. With a CD the case and "pretty" art booklet and the LABEL on the case. The music is the last things and probably the cheapest part of the whole package. With DVDs its simple we again are paying for the packaging and label but mostly the "extra content" If the MPAA came out with DVDs with just a simple cover and the MOVIE ONLY the price would have to drop considerably say down to between $16-12 a DVD. Do this and people might buy them more. I mean really think about it how many of us watch the "extra" stuff more than once or at all! HMV is on the right track but what about the movies? They're on the right ttrack but there is still a LONG LONG way to go!! Until the consumer can get their music and movies without fear of being sued and what not that is a day all this shit ends!!
