Oi whats wrong with Friday the 13th 1-10, I have actually just purchased them all on DVD recently. At an average price of £6.49 from play.com I couldnt resist.
Also I have pre-ordered Freddy V Jason even though I saw it at the cinema.
Now yeah Ok the TV issue is a very dodgy area and I personally wouldnt be surprised if most people would think downloading a TV episode was in fact perfectly acceptable.
DVD prices are very cheap if you order online. So I think you can discount the DVD prices, the fact remains whilst people can get it for free they will not buy it. I know it costs them the price of the BB connection, the price of a CD-r or DVD-R, perhaps even the price of the computer if you really wanna split hairs, but that does not give them entitlement to download movies because the DVD's cost too much.
I buy a lot of DVD's from Blockbuster and yes I am aware that when I purchase an ex rental version of a movie then myself and Blockbuster are breaking the law. But hey the DVDS are cheaper then play.com and I dont mind that they are second hand.
ON saturday I bought Halo for the xbox, I begrudged payin £17.99 for it second hand, but it was a game I wanted and I'd rather pay £17.99 then £34.99 which it seems this game still retails for, and I believe someone should have a lot of explaining to do about the fact this game still retails at top whack when its what nearly 2 years old???
