Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project (Touki Bouki / Redes / A River Called Titas / Dry Summer / Trances / The Housemaid) (Criterion Collection) BLU-RAY/DVD DUAL FORMAT EDITION



awesome release !
come on people. i dont get what problems you have with the price of this boxset. you get 6 master pieces of cinema history from CRITERION on bluray and DVD here. retail price = 120$ / 6 movies = 20 bucks each. thats what you pay @ B&N in a criterion sale for a single movie. and now you get these 6 movies for 65$ ... something is really wrong with people if you keep complaining about a price like this.

and if you hate the DVDs so much, sell them, give it to a friend that has no bluray player... doh.

Dual Format
It appears the price reflects the number of discs enclosed i.e.. Blu-ray and DVD format which is forcing us to buy both versions and makes the collection bulky to fit in my collection which is running out of space. I prefer the slim boxes and choice or either format rather than both. Criterion should reconsider their market when they package these new releases.

$125 MSRP, REALLY?
Is not the MSRP a bit high on Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project @3 BDs for $125? And this is for a set which does not appear to be extra-feature rich == no commentaries, no alternate/earlier films == perhaps (but hopefully not) less context than may be needed to better appreciate the films it contains.

The MSRP of $125 would really seem to want to be no more than $80 to be consistent with every other Criterion BD set, DVD set and the other recently announced combined BD/DVD releases. Here's just some examples...

1) 3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman
4 BDs OR
5 DVDs
MSRP $100 ==
$25 / BD OR
$20 / DVD

2) Zat
