New DVD Pricing Structure In Japan
|Warner Home Video has began pricing some of its DVD releases in Japan under a new pricing structure called “Hollywood Price.” Titles (mostly American films) listed under “Hollywood Price” will carry a price tag comparable to the same title’s release in the U.S. and Europe. Hopefully other Japanese companies and anime DVDs will follow suit. A typical anime DVD in Japan still costs, on average, the equivilant of anywhere from $50 to $100 American.
