I don't live in the UK, so that's not where I buy. I was just comparing the DVD and BD prices for new movies. I checked the online catalog from ASDA And Tesco and for the latest entries (Valkirie, Benjamin Button, Milk, Gran Torino, Slumdog Millionaire) they have more or less the same DVD prices as Amazon: full price is 17.99-19.99, discounted to 12-13 pounds. BD for the same movies is full price 19.99-27.99, discounted to 14-17 pounds for the most part. The difference being that I'm sure the DVDs will quickly drop in price to less than ten pounds, whereas the BDs will take much more. There's a growing lineup of sub-10 pounds BDs on those very sites, anyway. As I said: the difference is not that big, it's only that BDs still have not the same cheap tier yet. |
Well physically living in the UK, if you paid more than £12.99 for ANY brand new release DVD your friends would tell you you were robbed. Especially if anyone paid £17.99 for a DVD here, that is daylight robbery.
Ive not paid more than £10.99 for year and a half now for any DVD. Even 2 weeks after Transformers came out. I got 2 disc version for £8.99. That was in HMV.
