Discs are relatively cheap but some folks have tighter budgets than others. Instead of letting them go on sale after a period at "full" price, price them low out of the gate and see how sales improve. We are all used to seeing MSRP. We will know when a title is selling at a "sale" price.

Got my flash sale version of HDN today. It has a sticker on the back with the UPC: 715515272612. The digipak underneath has the UPC: 715515267212. I think the corrected version was shipped out for the flash sale. I will be checking it out tonight!
