Older Titles - Blu-ray Forum

Why don't titles that have been released on Blu for quite awhile all have price drops? For example, I have Reign Over Me on my wish list but it has never been under $16.99 and more commonly is around $23.

This title was released very early in the Blu life cycle (I believe) and thus has been around for awhile but still hasn't received many discounts/sales or permanent price cuts as the list price is still close to $39.

There are other titles that fall into this same category. I am just wondering if anyone with inside knowledge or some more knowledge than myself knows why these titles float at awkwardly high prices while newer blu-rays are continually cheaper.

I picked up Reign Over Me for about $13 on eBay. If a title doesn't receive a price drop then that's when you start looking at eBay.

Agreed, eBay is a decent source to pick up some cheap blus.

There's alot of titles long overdue for a drop in list price. Sony's "Vacancy" came out almost 3 years ago, and it still has a list of $38.96. You can currently buy it on Amazon for $29.49. That movie should be $15 max.

Universal and Paramount drop prices about as fast as anyone. Same for WB. Sony and Disney seem to take the longest.
