<screams> Maybe I'm not reading this right, but are you saying that a copy of it on VHS will be *$100*?!?! As in, 1 minted paper with Ben Franklin on it?!? <falls over>

If in fact, it is $100, then it's only being distributed to video stores for rental purposes. Of course, this means that everyone will rent it and copy it anyway.

It also means that those with DVD players will own a legit and better quality version. C'mon get a DVD player so you can experience Uncle Fucka in 5.1 Dolby Digital!!

Sounds like the VHS is gonna be one of those "rental only"s. I hope the DVD will go for a less insane cost.

You've got to be kidding.  Every film goes on VHS eventually, and regardless,
I'm NOT putting down $400 for a DVD player.

I'm sure that one would be able to purchase the movie once it has gone to the Previously Viewed Racks, but that usually takes a couple of months or so....until then, renting will be the way to go starting November 9th...also, VHS flics that are released first as priced for rental, go on sale at a less choking price (brand new) around 6 months after...we VCR types just can't win...oh well.....COPIES ALL AROUND...yeeha.....

400 dollars? My god.....where do you live? I bought mine for 250. And with the death of DIVX, it should get cheaper.

Want to get the movie faster? Well buy a bootleg for one, or stay in a hotel and order the fucker on PPV and tape it. So if you have a trip planned for sept or octish bring your VCR! Or you can steal it from your local video retailer.

If you want, you can add on a nifty little doodad to your VCR that will override the copyguard from both VHS and DVD.

Set this thing between your 2 decks and you not only get a VERY good video copy, but you can proverbially kick those greedyasses who want to charge you $100 right in da nutz.

I know how to _legally_ get ahold of a VHS copy for $6.50. Usually, films premiere on Pay-Per-View around the same time they are released on video. So, all you have to do is buy a blank tape for about $2.50, then spend $4 to see it on Pay Per View, and tape it. Total cost: $6.50; a savings of $93.50.

If this hasn't already been said, the reason the VHS is $100 is because that's what the rental stores pay per copy. Ususally, several months after the VHS copy has been available for rental, the VHS will go on sale for the usual $15-20, and will be found at any standard movie store.
