HMV have always had high prices for early software formats. I remember paying £24.95 for Jumanji when DVDs were first introduced and they had to order it, I think there were only around 6 titles available.
the also had ice age 2 for £30
any one else seen any stupid prices?
didn't you get Walace and Gromit as well?

Weird, I must've missed the first batch then because when I started buying dvd's and using the old Creative Labs DVD drive in the pc, the first discs I bought were one of the last 2 Batman films and Mars Attacks ........
As to the actual topic, yep high street prices for HD and BD stink and only Blockbuster seem to have a "reasonable" selection and have probably the lowest prices out there, although for most of the films out, these are still way too high for films you could get on SD for £3 they are charging £18 or even £25.
Swordfish is a case in point.
I quite like the challenge of the hunt, it's like the good old days. It got a bit boring being able to walk into any high street shop and buy multiple dvd's for a fiver. I paid over the odds once because I was impatient and I had a player sat at home with nothing to watch on it (apart from King Kong that came with it). Since then I don't think I've paid more than £14 for a new disc which isn't too bad...
Only 4 titles were originally available... A Few Good Men, Jumanji, Riverdance and I can't remember the 4th. Actually, you could consider it 5 titles if you counted Queens Greatest Hits DVD that came free with the Panasonic A1.
I am trying so hard to spend my £10 Virgin voucher yet I cannot seem to find anything reasonable in HD!
Was'nt Jodie Foster's 'Contact' one of the first as well?....
