TV on DVD Bargains & Rip-Offs (1 Viewer)

I just noticed the MSRP on Quantum Leap for 8 Episodes of Season 1 was 60 Bucks ($40 Discounted). Ridiculous!

Season 1 of Northern Exposure : 8 Episodes for $60.00 ($40.00 discounted). Who needs that life-raft to jack up the price? Outrageous!

I use MSRP strictly to illustrate higher prices for certain dvds. I know most people dont pay MSRP. I use it to show that certain shows are way too pricey for their content!

Give your opinions ... The good and the bad!

And if you pay full retail price, then you are a fool. Stop shopping at suncoast, for petes sake! With just a few moments shopping for bargains, I found it for just a touch under 40 bucks.

Sounds pretty sweet to me.

I got QL at CC during release week for $34.99 + tax, and could have gotten it even cheaper ($34.89 final cost) online at DeepDiscountDVD, but didn't want to wait for them to ship it. It's easy to get most similarly-priced TV sets for $40 or less their first week of release.

It does get extremely old whenever someone complains about the MSRP of something.

Almost no DVD is sold at MSRP. That is strictly an suggested retail price. $35 is a pretty good price, all things considered.

They had to aquire music rights, create transfers from the old tapes, etc.

Shop elsewhere...

But the MSRP determines what the discounted DVDs will be sold at, and it's a good, objective point when discussing the cost of DVDs.

It's like, a DVD set may have a $60 MSRP, but will often be discounted down to $35-$45, whereas something that carries a MSRP of $100 will likely be discounted in the $70-$80 range.

And, if we're complaining about DVD prices, quoting the MSRP makes more sense than quoting off of subjective store prices. For example, that $60 MSRP DVD might be on sale the first week at a certain store for $35, another store for $40, and then go up to $45 a the first store and $48 the next week.

Since the MSRP is an objective price -- and the "base" price for determining discounts, it makes more sense to quote the MSRP in debates about price than what something "streets" for.

I think Sliders is going to be more overpriced than it should.

QL should have been 39.99 with discounts in the low 20's maybe less.

Some Pioneer/Geneon Animation discs are still 3 episodes a disc for $30MSRP ($22 discounted). I consider that a ripoff

People quoting MSPR is really annoying because it usually some obscene number which isn't even close to what the price is.

Take Quantum Leap, $60 MSPR, $32.50 in reality from DVDSoon. That is almost HALF of the MSRP.


In the days of national chains and online stores, things really don't change much from store to store.
