Why are Vista DVDs so cheap?

At my local futurestore, I located the vista series and compared their prices with other barebone releases.

Touchstone was 23.99
Unbreakable was 19.99 and If you buy Signs with it, its 14.99
Signs 24.99
Who framed Roger Rabbit? 21.99 (SALE)
The Sixth Sense 19.99 and If you buy Signs with it, its 14.99



All prices are in Canadian Dollars. Considering that the Vista series are so profusely packed with extras, shouldn't they be more expensive? Not that Im complaining

No not really. What is your idea of more expensive, like the bare bones paramount 29.99 discs or a critierion dvd.

While i'm sure you could argue that a small premium could be added on Vista Series DVD's, all of them sans Pearl Harbor are comparable to a lot of other 2 disc special editions. Only thing thats particularly special is the packaging. Except for Signs that is =\

If they're not giving them away at the store, then they aren't cheap.

Pretty much what I see in my area. Vista Series releases compare in price to most of the other 2-disc SEs on the shelf. I find that release week sales are usually the best time to pick these up if I got the money.
