Seriously, $95 for 1 film is ridiculous just because it has 3 discs. I'm getting Inception with 3 discs in a briefcase with extra stuff for $50 and just got the I Am Legend Ultimate Collector's Edition with 3 discs for only $30. Australian distributors and studios really need to get their act together. For DVD I was an extremely strong supporter of local titles and my collection supports that but with Blu-ray the studios have really done themselves a disservice by over-inflating the prices of a number of Blu-ray titles. This same set retails for $55 ($56.50AU) in the US and you can bet the sale price will be lower so it's a little ridiculous for Fox to release the same content and then expect people to pay a minimum of a 170% markup just for a local release.
This is price gouging and hopefully people will vote with their wallets by not buying or taking their business elsewhere. This is extremely poor form coming after what looked to be a promising change in the Blu-ray market locally with the Warners and Universal 2 for $20 sales. |
There's a small difference between Avatar and Inception, Inception is one of those Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital Copy triple packs similar to Clash of the Titans whereas Avatar's 3 disc edition is 3 full Blu-Ray's and judging from some of the pics, is not just a 3 disc Blu-Ray in a case, it may be a Blu-Ray digipack which would bump up the price.
