Re: Why do some DVD's never seem to drop in price?
 
If you're willing to join a club, the Disney Movie club has most of Hayao Miyazaki's movies about 5 bucks cheaper as their normal price. (Their normal titles and Pixars are priced lower, too) Plus, they usually run sales where you buy one normal price, the rest are 25 to 60% lower depending on your status and the month. Not hyping the club, but it has saved me some money with Miyazaki's movies...down to missing just one now!

Here's a thought: The only people who are going to buy the later Hellraiser sequels are completists -- the kind of people who will end up buying these movies no matter how awful they might be. So the studios might as well keep the price point high as long as they can under the assumption that the collectors will eventually pick them up regardless of the price in order to complete their collection.

Amazon has a great deal on these titles right now, most are $14.99.

Amazon: Save 57% on Pixar Favorites

Also, Target has had a B1G1 deal or killer pricing on a couple of Pixar movies every Easter. Wait and ye shall save.

FIDO - This one is $3.99 in the clearance bin at my Blockbuster. Previously viewed, but there's tons of them. You could easily find one that's perfect.

It's weird to see people wanting to buy the Pixar titles. You mean there are people that didn't just buy each one when it was new? :)

I haven't picked up Cars or Ratatouille since the discs are not the usual Pixar super-genius editions, and Cars at least wasn't worth buying as a bare-bones disc. I haven't gone blue yet either and I'm basically waiting for them to re-release with the proper amount of special features.

There are some I held off on. I keep hoping for a better edition of Ratatoullie, for example.
