You pay about $20 for a regular release of a movie on one disc but you don't pay $120 for a regular TV release that is six discs and I think the same logic will apply when/if Warners releases TV shows as part of their Archive program. I think that the prices for TV shows will be on the high end ($50 or $60) but they won't be $20 a disc either.Originally Posted by Gary OS
And if they are currently charging $20 per dvd, think about how expensive one season of a WB show like 77 Sunset Strip would be. I don't know how they could make this work with their current financial model.
That is the way I see it as well. Plus we may get some special codes that would reduce the price every so often.Originally Posted by TravisR

Its why even a poorly run company like Fox makes sure to remaster its movie library while their pre-1990 TV library lays in disarray. So, yes, I would forsee Warner prioritizing its 50, 75 and 100 year old films over their most popular unreleased TV shows.
I agree with you. I was really excited when I read that both Awakening Land and Scruples were being released, but as I live in Canada, i too am unable to purchase these two DVD titles from their website. VERY DISAPPOINTING.Originally Posted by WaveCrest
What I'm not happy about with Warner Archive, is that they're only shipping to the US. So for example, Lace and Lace II are being released, which are two titles I've wanted to see on DVD for a while now, but as I'm from the UK I miss out on being able to purchase them on the Warner Archive website.
My last order apparently was fulfilled by Deep Discount, although I placed the order at the WB Store website. The return address on the package is the DD address in Illinois.Originally Posted by cajunhillbilly
Plus both Amazon and Deep Discount sites are carrying the Archive titles now. So you can order from them.
