:flare: WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY????
I was looking through an ad in the paper today and I discovered that they now sell "Little House on the Prairie" DVD's as a complete set. WHY???
I was having this discussion the other day about DVD sets. I was saying how I don't think I am going to buy any "Star Wars" DVD's until they get released as a set with all 6 movies together. It just makes more sense to me. The same with "Indiana Jones". I know they recently released the 3 movie set and this 4th movie is separate. But will George Lucas finally release a set including the 4th DVD in it? So I will hold off a little longer just in case. There are many other series (TV or movie) that I am holdiong off on just in case, also.
There is a major issue with this "Little House" thing, though. I seriously NEVER thought that they would release it as a set!!! I was just saying that the other day! Well, lo and behold, they have!! What is my problem? It cost a total of approximately $290.00 to get these DVD's separately (they were all bought at different times - including some as gifts for me). Whereas, this DVD set is like $180.00! That is unbelieveable compared to the amount spent on the other DVD's!!
My problem is how these people know that their consumers will buy each one separately (movie or TV show) and then turn around and buy an entire set. I think it is terrible to do that to people. They should announce that this is the plan in the first place. I want this. I want it badly. But I don't think I can buy the set on principle. Why should they get anymore money from me? Anyway, what would be the point? (Except it would save space) I already have them all.
This sort of thing makes me very angry!! :flare:
