Bad news on TCM DVD...

Two versions ofThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre is coming out in March; one is a cheapie with hardly any extras, and the other is a loaded Platinum Series edition. The bad news is that the Platinum Series edition is 40 bucks. That's ridiculous! I hate it when companies mark up the prices of horror movies simply to take advantage of the loyal fans who will buy it no matter what. That goes with releasing a movie with no extras on the disc and then releasing again a few months later in a "director's cut." Screw that. I thought sci-fi geeks were the ones who got reamed in the marketing, not us.

I hate to say this but the only way to stop from getting screwed is to not buy the damn thing, no money comes in they stop doing this shit.

At least they told us about the Platinum edition. Yeah, I'm still pissed at the price, but I won't waste money on the little one first. If I would have known about the Boomstick edition, I would not have so many damn copies of Army of Darkness.

all new movies cost at least 30 dollars here
at least
but like when Xmen 2 hit the shelves it costed 25 dollar
I bought the box of both the Xmen double dvd editions for 30 dollars
you just gotta wait a bit

I'd like to add the alien quedrilogy box
most stores sell it for 90 dollar here, but 1 store sells it for 70 dollar, it's worth the difference

guy guys, I have the best fix for this problem: steal it. The marketing assholes and fat cats think they are clever, well instead of just boycotting it just steal it, that way they loose money and will really stop doing it, and you still get the DVD.
