TAR DVD

jose:
how much do they usely cost

WalterC:
Bootlegs is the only way, and they are worth it for at least 1 viewing if you are a fan and never seen them before.

I got tired of waiting, and with All-Stars coming up, I had to resort to bootlegs to watch seasons 2-6. Even other racers recommend bootlegs.

Actually on this part they are partially right.  It is very difficult for studios to earn a profit on DVD's if those DVD don't make it to retail outlets.  unfortunately for us, the two seasons they did released  sold poorly.  THus making it harder for CBS to get shelf space from the retail market for more of that profit.  CBS  decided that the space they get should go to releases that generated more sales.

I can't argue with that on teh business model.

What I have a serious problem with is the fact that CBS has not released this show for sale on a digital release.  THis cost the studio practically no overhead, their is no shelf space that needs to be made available in mass around the nation (just server space).  It boogles the mind.


CBS should just release them digitally. The cost is much less and you can d/l from iTunes.

We'll see what they decide. Releasing them on iTunes would be nice.
