although i like the sound of warners strategy even better for new releases to be priced at $10.Well, I'd call $14 pretty cheap. Their loaded SE of North By Northwest is 13.99 on some sites and their Chuck Jones: Extremes and In-Betweens disc is around 10.
But they have their own production facility (which is one big reason to why Warner titles are usually pretty cheap), unlike Paramount. I think they use Technicolor, which is one of the more expensive pressing plants.
