I'm going to play devil's advocate a little..... but I'm not trying to be rude.....
It seems that everyone jumps up and down about how the Audio, Video, extras, etc.. involved in blu-rays are so much better (AKA it's a new product) than DVD....... but now people think just because the movie is a few years old, you should pay less for the efforts put forth to restore it????
Shawshank, for instance, or Casablanca, or 2001 (which is commonly found for $14.99 ironically enough) are great transfers...... and I'm not surprised they fetch a standard MSRP....
Like Young Frankenstein or Poltergeist (two that come to mind because I looked for deals for a long time on those, and they're never part of a big sale) Both older movies..... but great transfers.....
I think the fact that they go for the same price as a movie just released, is testament to the fact that this is a NEW and IMPROVED version, and an all-together new product
