I would rather pay £15 for quality rather than quantity.

Because the studios are still using DVD and DC as a crutch. There's also the fact that the studios don't want to spend the extra money on new masters and/or restorations (Universal is the main culprit). Then you've got studios like Paramount and Sony that strike new masters, but don't think they'll make enough return on investment so they sell the temporary rights to Olive and Twilight Time and make a little profit out of it. Shady, but business as usual for the studios.
