Lower the prices? Not sure I agree with that. Perhaps you have to be slightly older to appreciate the fact that you can OWN movies at all. I'm 45, and it wasn't until I was an adult that you could buy a movie on VHS. When I was a kid, you couldn't even record anything to watch later or rent it to watch at home. That meant you had to see movies in the theater or wait patiently for them to arrive on the television.
And, HBO wasn't throwing movies onto the screen six months after their theatrical release, either. If you missed a movie, you really missed it.
So, for me to peruse an online catalog (I don't even need to leave my house) and pick out just about any movie I want to OWN for about fifteen bucks (when it costs over half that to see it once in the theater) is amazing!
And now I have Netflix too, so I can see movies I want all the time and I still don't have to leave my house to do it.
To me, I think buying DVDs is a cheap way to have access to movies I want any time I want. One generation behind me, and it's already being taken for granted. That's a shame.
