: 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.....
Alright. When a movie first comes out on video it is released for rental only. (Which means that video stores have first dibs on it so they and the studio can make more money.) The set a high price that (Unless they're die hard fans) nooone will buy the tape at that price. After a year, it will come out for sale.
