Warner fights pirates by slashing prices - new DVDs for $1.5
 

Warner Home Video has begun trial sales in China of a movie DVD priced at US $1.50. This is the same price as a pirate copy, but it is legal.

To get its product down to that price level, Warner has had to skimp a bit on the packaging. It is shoving the cheaper DVD into a cardboard envelope.

i'd never download another movie if they'd sell em for $1.50...

DVD quality, official disk and legal? sjeez!

take example microsoft....

only way we'll get it at that price is if we move to China; people in China don't make $3000/month, rather $300...

still, plenty of suggestions there to cut piracy

I'd never dl another movie if i could get em for $5.

well, the thing is, you're not selling to the peasants who make 1$ a day.

you're selling it in the few big cities, where people do make more money than you think. 1.5$ really isnt that much for them either.
