Prices

On of the many things that amuses me is the way prices of movies on DVD alter. For example the two disc edition of "I Am Legend" released at the end of April for £20 is now £15; whereas the two-disc edition of "The Golden Compass" has barely dropped from its starting price. "Bloodrayne" on the other hand started at £12 and hasn't changed; oh and incidentally it's a must-see movie for anyone who watches an 'okay' movie and claims it to be rubbish. To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee 'Call that a rubbish film? Now this is a rubbish film!" it's not even so bad as to propel it back to good.

I also see that "Planet Terror" (recommended by my cousin the Artist) has dropped down to the bargain status of £8 and I note with amusement that the price of the combo pack of the one-disc editions of AvP1 and AvP2 is cheaper than the price of just the two-disc edition of AvP2.

On the game front I see Gamestation has knocked "Dark Sector" down to £20, but "Haze" is still up at the £45 mark despite getting a much larger kicking in the reviews than the other one. "Overlord: Raising Hell" is also the standard price as is "MGS4", but "Civilisation Revolution" is £30 which is just really strange.
