As one of the early dvd releases, sales slowed enough that the studio
stopped printing more. After a little bit they'll re-release it, either
at a cheaper price, with different extras, or in HD. It's selling on
ebay because people are stupid

acutally, this is the newer release that release about 6months ago ro
so from Universal. i remember seeing TONS of them at BestBuy for $14
each (along with ANIMAL HOUSE DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION EDITION which
release around teh same time). I mean, i'm glad i have mine, but,
geez, for $50, i might just sell it!

I see BB selling for under $10.00 everywhere I go (Canada). If someone is
selling it for $50.00 on ebay get me the client list so I can talk them into
investing into my reversable dust bunny catcher. This is a fancy looking
napkin that collects dust bunny's...and happens to be reversable in case you
want to pass it off as a classy addition to your dining table. I have some
investors in Nigeria that have told me they will send money.

What you should do is rent is from some video store for a few
bucks, burn it, and you'll have your own cheap copy right here
and now. No need to wait for some bullshit "special edition"
with mundane interviews of the gaffer and key grip. If you're
feeling adventurous, you can even burn a few extra copies
(supplying good reproductions of the DVD insert and label, of
course) and sell them for $35 apiece on ebay.

Ciao,
JB
