Has anyone done an analysis of pricing of new and recent releases and discerned a pattern? It’d be handy to know...for example, if I see a Disney release drop a few dollars, I’ll get it, but if it’s a (insert studio here) release, then I know in six months they’re usually down to $10.

It’d be really nice to develop a list of each studio and their typical pricing pattern to determine when to buy.

Thoughts?

(P.s. I know this isn’t a “deal”, but it relates to deals...and I didn’t spot a better thread to put it in.)

Get "The Camelizer" extension for the Chrome browser and go to Amazon and start looking at the types of titles you're interested in. Anecdotally, WB titles seem to drop off after a couple/few months. Disney tends to keep their prices stable.
