Is Disney Blu-ray over price? - Blu-ray Forum

mugupo · 09-16-2009, 10:46 PM

I was surprise to find out many of the new disney blu-ray cost like $29.99 or more in amazon. Some of those title are old like hero etc.. And Ups cost like over $30..

While other studio is dropping price of their blu-ray (new and old) Disney just keep raising their price? Not to mention they had the most commercial in the disk.

you need to correct your thread and state Amazon is raising prices. Amazon sets a generic price til it gets a final pricing, it will drop, chill.

Snow White is coming out at 25.99 at Best Buy so its not Disney

You also have to remember that most of these sets also come with a DVD copy of the film.

Not to mention, the final sale price hasn't been locked in yet, like Sully Mod said. By the time the first week of release comes around, there are always good deals to be had for the big releases.

But Hero came out today and it's still $29.99... When was the last time a Disney new release sold on release day for $29.99 on Amazon?...

Yes thats a major bonus, I mean Snow White will be $15.99....Beat that

Moefiz · 09-16-2009, 11:04 PM

Come to think of it...I think that Disney blus is at a pretty good price..

If I can remember correctly there last two release on blu had coupons that helped with lowering the retail price.

I said a BIG release. Hero isn't exactly one of their big well known titles.

I will agree that Disney typically overcharges for catalog titles. I mean, do movies like The Waterboy really warrant a $39.99 MSRP? That means $25-$30 in stores.

Iron-Blu-123 · 09-16-2009, 11:07 PM

Disney bluray are fair price. for me that is ( I only buy them on sale ).

Considering the small group that would want to buy that film in HD, they're pricing it to actually make money.

psx3man · 09-16-2009, 11:27 PM

I think disney's blu's can be expensive at time but so can most of the other blu's that come out. If you want it day one then yea i think theres a premium for the first few weeks. But i think disney is the most generous of all the companies. Who give you a blu-ray, dvd and digital copy on every disney movie they release and still put out $10 coupons on top of that. Snow white for $15-$17 i'm ready.

Exactly then why it got charge so much? should not cost more than $20 in my opinion. Plus it has transfer issue.

MaCruz · 09-16-2009, 11:50 PM

I get my Disney movies from BJ's wholesale lately. They have instant rebates that come down $19.99, and I have an extra $10 coupon from disneymovierewards and I've been paying around $12.

I hope they do the same for Up, and Monsters Inc.

Cause fewer people are going to buy it, so they're trying to make money.

Brad1963 · 09-16-2009, 11:56 PM

Yes! $39.99 for a catalog title is ridiculous. Now that Lionsgate is dropping to $19.99 (with $9.99 sales) and Universal dropped to $26.99 (with as low at $17.99 on sale) they really get to get it together already.

VoodooSamurai · 09-16-2009, 11:58 PM

a little expensive and way too many forced ads

JonBidinger · 09-17-2009, 12:06 AM

With other studios having $24.99 or lower MSRPs on catalog titles, it is BS for Disney to have a $44.99 MSRP on a catalog title, especially one that doesn't even have the original language track in lossless. Other studios are lowering prices, I am upset that Disney is raising prices.

If you're paying MSRP, you deserve to be screwed.

Disney on average is giving you a lot more for your money. Especially with the bonus DVD copies.
