"Traffic is $35. That is insane. Most two disc sets are $20 when they first come out."
I bout Traffic for $20 when it "first came out". The MSRPs of 2-disc special editions and Crietrions are quite close, actually. Also, Criterion is an independent company - the studios have a lot of income to funnel into making a DVD.
Also, a lot of studio 2-disc set extras aren't really worth the extra cash, don't you agree? The Criterion extras are designed never to be superfluous or inflated.
