Dosent it seem like?

Dosent it seem like movies are coming out to DVD faster these days?

Yes and No. Since theatre ticket prices are soaring most everywhere, people can virtually buy the movie itself for the same price as admission. Distributors are realizing that.

So, flicks that do well get shuffled off to DVD prep as soon as their theatre run is over. Indies and box office bombs tend to get the treatment a little faster.

I'm all for it.

Yup, I've notice that too. I guess cuz DVD cost more than a movie ticket? Plus a year or two after the DVD release they come out with a Special Edition or box set.

ive noticed that to ...

tabby999 Music Idiot apparently

i read in the paper that prices of DVDs in aus are set to soar because the government is going to crack down on the people who put the conversion chips in playstations and Xbox, i dont know why this gives the people who set the RRP on the dvds the right to boost the price of DVDs but i guess thats how its going to go

Get this. "Elektra" will be available on DVD 4/5. That's 81 DAYS after being released in theatres, roughly 11 WEEKS!

That's..sad...really.. 😐
