My issue isn't as much as the $30 price for one film (though that is part of it). It is that high of a price for multiple films. Like you said, I have spent a small fortune (or not so small in context for my budget). But it is also spread out over many films. At even close to those prices, the choice, for me, doesn't become so much of just buying less at higher prices and only for select handful of films I've already seen and love (having large amounts of titles become out of reach to discover and become exposed to), it becomes about avoiding the high priced titles entirely if they don't drop in price. As much as I'd love to have the disposable income to buy any film that interests me regardless of price, that just isn't feasible. If hundreds/thousands of catalog titles become marketed solely to the couple/few thousand of films that love the films enough to pay that much and have the income to do so (and don't buy enough films for that to be a detriment), than hundreds/thousands of films are going to have limited audiences of the top x% of the movie buying public (not that it would matter to studios as they will get their money from one source or another but it helps to change the culture of buying towards tiered renting/streaming options.. which may be beneficial to them for all but people like us that buy a lot of films).elDomenechHTF said:I'm sure many of you have spent small fortunes purchasing the movies and TV show you love over and over without blinking too much. I don't see how paying $30 for something you'll get a lot of enjoyment from is a big problem.
