Well makes sense if their Blu-ray production is costing them an arm and a leg in replication and they are not getting satisfactory return on DVD. Since Sony mostly all replication for blu-ray for example, it seems they are the only ones (and their partner Fox) to who get good deals.
I can understand why they would do this. Interestingly enough Fox and Sony.. hmm... what a partnership..makes you wonder what kind of deals were made back in the format war since they are buddying so much.
Not to happy about this in general. I don't want Sony and Fox giving me home videos in retail. Their movies are almost always overpriced and quality is awful and them owning together MGM and Sony owning a bunch of other studios this is not good any way you look at it. At least not for home entertainment
I've been ripped off enough times by Fox to never plan to do business with them again. I mean full on lies, like the DVD edition of The Abyss that was packaged as anamorphic that was actually 4:3 with letter boxing (and the subsequent argument with the store trying to return the f---ing thing because apparently returning something that isn't what it says it is on the box is "copyright infringement" - yes, that's what Fox has told retailers.)
Screw 'em. Something tells me I'll be buying fewer and fewer discs over the next few years, what with the dishonesty of the distributors and the decision to use an HD format with a flawed and draconian DRM system.
