Re: Personally.
$24? You must be shopping at the wrong places. There are plenty of stores that sell DVDs for less than that. Also, waiting a while for the price to drop helps. I wish the same could be said for CDs.

I wish the same could be said for CDs. This is the same though I had. As for the extra stuff to me this is what gives such DVD's the value. The movies are interesting for sure but the extras make for a complete document. An example is The Attack of the Clones. One of the playback options includes the director, editor, and Geo' Lucas in a voice track where they discuss each of the scenes, how they where made, when they where made etc.
This is fascinating to me while the Movie is great entertainment I also enjoy learning how these movies are fashioned.

I agree. $24 for a DVD is way too much. Actually, my local Blockbuster tries to charge that much for new releases, but this is one of the reasons why I don't do business with Blockbuster any more. Thanks to »www.dvdpricesearch.com, I buy most of my DVDs for half of that if not less.
Yes, sometimes they release special edition DVDs of some big hit movies that have tons of extras, special packaging, collectible items, etc. included in the package, and these sets usually cost more than ordinary plain versions of the same movie. But if you are looking at a regular edition of the movie with extras cut down to bare minimum, you shouldn't be spending more than $15 on it.

That is another reason for falling CD sales that the RIAA doesn't want to talk about. The entertainment value of a CD compared to other entertainment just isn't there anymore.
I was walking through target and they have DVDs for $7-$10 by the checkout - making them an impulse buy. You can get new release movies (ie: Harry Potter, Robots) for $16-$18 dollars from Circuit City or Best Buy the week they come out. I couple this with the lack of music that I like being produced today and for me the choice is simple - I am sure others are making the same choices.
One of the great promises for CDs when they first came out was that they were so much cheaper to produce, but where did the savings go? Straight to profits. The RIAA did what many industries have done - priced themselves out of relevance.
