I think the difference here is that Fox threw MTMS out to the mass market and didn't handle it differently than Buffy, X-Files, etc.
Image specializes is smaller, more niche releases. They may not sell as many copies as even MTMS has so far, but they will be more profitable (even at that SRP) because they know that this is mostly going to sell to the "cult" audience with few mass-market purchasers. For the latter, there will be copies seen in Best Buy and Costco and so forth. Think of the places you've seen Twilight Zone at, and that's where you'll spot this:
P.S.: Just like TZ (and I Spy), I'm sure Image will be using Thinpaks. Heh.
