TV season boxed set pricing is deranged, and quite a bad gouge in some cases.

For example I just picked up all 3 seasons of "The Office". Each was $20. However the first season had a mere six episodes! And it's the same price as the 20+ episode runs of the other seasons.

Yes, it should be discounted, but they won't. They know they can gouge and most folk will pay. The amount of money they lose is more than made up for by the fact they're selling 3/4 of a season for full price, essentially selling less for more.
