Sounds bad, but at that price I won't complain too much. I think we're
going to see this style more often in the near future, a way to release a
lot of material in one package at a low price (like the previously discussed
Green Acres & Mr. Ed).
With DVDs getting cheaper, this is probably the only way some of this stuff
will make it to this format. I don't imagine sales would be too great if
Ma & Pa Kettle or Abbott and Costello were released at $60-$100. I'd rather
have it this way than not at all.
If you get defective discs, don't hesitate to exchange them for better
copies. My copy of Mr. Ed has a data dropout, so it's getting exchanged at
Best Buy. If the actual discs are so cheap that they get too many returns,
it will encourage them to keep quality higher in the future. Also, another
solution is to back up fragile discs to DVDR, then you can watch the copies
and archive the originals.
