May be just my personal bias, but when I noticed The Barefoot Contessa and I Want to Live on the discount list for $19.95 just a couple of months after release, it shows something has really changed for TT. To me these are quality titles for which, in the past, the $30 price would have held up. When TT discounts so early, it indicates 1. TT having financial problems and must discount sooner for cash flow, 2. customers not buying as much even for quality titles. Factor #1 can reinforce #2 as customers refrain from pre-ordering/paying full price to wait for discount. Vicious cycle ensues.
TT should immediately lower price on pre-orders across the board and stop discounting so soon after release.
