G'day AUXR8

When you say that you don't feel like there is value for money, are you talking about the physical medium or the video content?

I'd get a safe for your DVDs. My DVDs grow legs, esp when mates pop over and ask for the 'long term borrow' of a DVD . . . that reminds me, who did I loan my 'chase is on DVD' to?

As a consumer, I couldn’t agree with you more, sounds like a great idea, but in order for us to put money into the next production, we must maximise our return on sales. It’s a fine line between lots of small sales or fewer big sales.

I think the download option is a matter of instant convenience, rather than DVD replacement.

If I did a 1gb download option, the 1gb of bandwidth would be quite largish, it would certainly kill the DVD market and no retail outlets would stock the DVD.

To put you in the picture, we sell more DVDs in retail stores, than online.

Thanks for the sneak peek of the films your doing in herrod's upstairs office during this year's FPV weekend
Love the sound of your car too.

Jason from falcon car club sa and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at herrods

Hi Cam
Yeah I meant the phys medium. I too also misplace discs or forget who I've loaned them to.
Cheers.
