HD DVD Price Drops to Come From Universal
Posted Tue Jun 13, 2006 at 01:10 PM PDT by
Though the HD DVD format launched less than two months ago, Universal
Studios Home Entertainment has announced it will already be dropping the list
price of all its current and upcoming releases on the format.
The studio will slash the price of its entire HD DVD library to $29.95; most
current releases from the studio retail for $34.95.
The only Universal HD DVD titles not to be affected by the new pricing tier
will be the studio's upcoming HD DVD/DVD hybrid discs. The first two titles announced earlier today, '
National
Lampoon's Animal House' and '
Unleashed,' will retail for $34.95.
All Universal price reductions will be effective beginning August 8, 2006.
