Default Don't all of you agree that Aniplex of America releases are ridiculous?

Aniplex of America by far charges the most prices for anime. With FUNimation one Blu-ray set with 13 episodes generally costs $30 dollars retail, and eventually gets a price drop as well. Viz Media pretty much does the same thing. The only other one who doesn't charge $30 but still makes reasonable prices is Sentai Filmworks with $40 dollars a set. Some people find $30 dollars expensive, but when you compare it to like a Game of Thrones season on release date that also costs $40, it's really not. Now with Aniplex they still treat anime as a premium and doesn't think it's all that popular in the U.S., which is completely untrue because look at shows like Attack on Titan or Sword Art Online (a show they own), that are EXTREMELY popular here. Here are the prices for their Blu-rays.
Sword Art Online 7 episodes
$90
Kill la Kill 4 episodes
$60
Blue Exorcist 12 episodes
$140
All 15 episodes of Bakemonogatari
$150
with I think 25 episodes of Gurren Lagann
$700
I have never seen a company not grasp different economies like this. Yes, anime is expensive in Japan, but you can't charge these prices. Luckily, the only show they have that I really like is Blue Exorcist, but I refuse to pay that much. Anyway what do you think of this?
