Dan: Recently released data highlights that DVD sales make-up twice the amount of profit for movie production companies than the actual showing of them in theaters.  Due to considerably falling prices due to a lack in demand for most ALL goods, DVD sales are reaching all time lows and production companies are bracing for the future.

For the most part, many illegal means of getting movies on DVD have been shut down.  There has been a high cut in DVD prices, and if you look in the right places, bundling, a selling technique, is starting to be used (buy these three DVDs and receive a 40% discount for example).  Also, with Blu-Ray DVD players now reaching all time lows at stores such as Costco and Wal-Mart (roughly $124.00), DVDs are a great buy!  Give a few DVDs for gifts this holiday season, it is really hard to miss on this gift idea.  Even if it is not the PERFECT movie for that one person, it is still ok, because they most likely already have that.

Grace: This is a REALLY great gift idea, especially if the gift recepient has been kind of hinting at wanting a certain dvd.  For example, one of my friends just never buys dvds of movies she likes, so DVDs of movies she likes is always a great go-to gift.  This is also a great way to introduce people to movies you think they’ll like.  I’ve discovered a lot of great movies from my friends giving me DVDs they enjoy and think I’ll like too.
