I think the point is they're helping the format along. not that they're going to be churning out a large amount of 3D blurays, but it is a nice start.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams wouldn't be a horrible idea for their second.

It's not the actual money - I can afford it (I think), but since when do people who swarm around an Amazon seller who accidentally mispriced thousands of dollars of merchandise not care about how much media releases cost? Perhaps Criterion should just increase their prices to $60 per title on the off chance that we can stack B&N coupons at some point during some unconfirmed sale to bring them down to $20
In the time you've spent complaining about this, you could have gone outside and panhandled the $5 extra that you need to be able to afford this.

You should probably stop providing her with so many occasions for laughter.

You understand, of course, that means she has to live with you as well.

Nah, that's just reserved for you, but with love. And when I get the funds I'm donating a dollar to your cause.

There's a minimum $10 donation. Otherwise it'd be up 50ยข from me.

According to the original press release, $79.95. I don't know if the site ever had the wrong price.

Everyone goofs on me when I talk about prices even though it's okay for everyone else to do it, but that's a pretty high MSRP for a three-film set.

But not for a 4-disc set. Shoah is 3 discs and $99.95 SRP.

Especially since it's the same for both the DVD and Blu. The comparable War Trilogy set is $20 less (for DVD only, obviously)/

But it also contains a short in which Ingrid Bergman chases around a chicken.

The Three Colors Trilogy Blu-ray was twenty dollars cheaper and contained the Three Colors Trilogy

It's a shame I didn't think to pre-order from Amazon since the first listed price was $55, which would've been 45% off on release day =;
