[POLL] Should the Studios/Distributers STOP Splitting the Market? - Blu-ray Forum

Gold Ranger · 11-07-2013, 10:30 AM

I feel that the Movie Studios and Distributers would stand to gain more money if they stop splitting up the Market.
They should stop selling everything piece-meal and just go for 1 unified set.
- Game of Thrones: Season 2 and
- Revolution: Season 1 are the correct way to be selling Movies/T.V. Shows now.
Include the Blu-Ray, DVD, Download Code and the 3D Disk in one package.
It should theoretically reduce the price of the Movie/T.V. Show as there will be less time spent on coming up with different Art and Cases.

What do you all think?

I', surprized that no one is commenting besides just clicking yes or no...

I would go for TV shows being released in whole series sets, not individual sets. I don't think people could wait that long between seasons, take Law and Order: SVU, for example. Would you buy a 14 + season set for some huge dollar amount?

Personally I don't want all the other stuff that comes with the blu-ray package (DVD, digital, etc). I can make my own digital copy if I want to.

Forcing people to buy a more expensive set because it's all that's available will just make them just spend less on other things or wait for a bargain bin price drop. I imported GoT from the UK because of that.

I don't use the DVDs, but I like the idea of having one product offering. I feel this is a great way to encourage people to make the jump up to Blu-ray if they haven't done so yet. Once Blu-ray has a very healthy lead in market share, phase out the DVD copies.

Anything that gets more Blu-ray out there is fine by me.
