The distribution companies don't release videos at "to-own" prices so that you have to rent it (giving them money) and then buy it months after (to give them more money). Thus the price you bought it for was what the video stores would have to buy it for. Though, they can recoupe the money via rentals.
I assume that they release the DVD to buy because they assume that those people will also buy the SE.
Therefore, the videos will be released at "to-own" prices around the same time that the SE DVDs come out (late-2000 or early-2001).
So basically you got royally fucked.
