'The Dewey Cox Story' was $47! friggin dollars on BR at HMV (in Canada) last time I checked. Ridiculous! That was the worst example of an overpriced BR I've come across. I do buy BR's though, have 18 discs including the Planet Earth box-set and Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles season one set. Still a bit pricy for a lot of BR's, but I've noticed the gap between the cost os DVD's and BR's narrowing. When 'Seth Mcfarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy' came out here, the BR was the same cost as the DVD ($20).

but your in Canada. everything released in canada is overpriced... isnt the PS3 there still like $500?

Surely you Jest. Things were really wacky when I was a kid. $99 for NES Double Dragon and $120 for Phantasy Star 2 are two of my most vivid memories of overpriced Canadian software. But my mom, dad and I went to the U.S. 2 or three times a year for cross-border shopping back then so I always picked-up 3-4 games with my paper-route money. In the unlikely event you're serious, things are at about parity now for software and hardware. PS3 is $299 and games are about the same cost as the U.S. And hey, I got Batman:AA for $38!
