: Alright so a couple of days ago I finally got my pre-order of Dogma in at the Record Town in at my mall....they tell me the total is 108.00 because it was only released for rental on VHS! WHAT THE FUCK! Can someone please explain this to me?! at first I was a little skeptical UNTILL I went on the fucking internet and every site (Amazon, TWEC, Reel) has it for 100-99 dollars! And if they have only released it for rental now when is it going to be available to buy on VHS....no offence to anyone who had a DVD player but I'm poor as shit! If anyone can please enlighten me on this subject it would be greatly appricated.....
Yeah I think I can help. Sometimes when they release video, their initial release is priced for rental, which means the price is higher, 90-100 dollar range, because they don't want people to buy them, they need to let the video stores make a little money off the rentals, if they priced the video's at 19.99 right away, then fans like you and myself wouldn't spend the money to rent them about a zillion times, like I have. And I like your have not gotten my act together to buy a dvd player. So there you have it, hope this calms you down.
