Rip Off ? This is a quote from an article about giving away free DVD's with newspapers.... "Knock-out 10,000 DVDs and you're looking at maybe 34p each; 100,000 at 25p each, half a million at 23p each. So when you get into the millions, which are what the tabloids sell, it's even less." And how much do DVD's cost in the shops ? £10 ? £15 ? That's quite a mark up there. Of course I realise that a profit has to be made, people have to be paid, and especially in the film and music industries there is coke to be snorted and whores to be shagged, and that all needs paying for, but it's still quite a mark up isn't it ? This has been the argument about CD's for over 20 years, they cost less to produce than a vinyl album so why have they always been more expensive ? It has only been with the advent of the online record stores and the likes of Tesco selling cheaper Cd's that they have eventually come back down to the cost of what a vinyl album was all those years ago. If you have internet access, and a credit or debit card, I can't understand why you would ever bother with the high street music stores again, prices are often in the region of £5 or so different, even for brand new releases, and in my case, with fairly obscure and eccentric tastes in music, they quite often don't have what I'm looking for anyway.
