Waiting for the Big OnekissthewookieeAugust 31 2005, 09:13:50 UTC
I think the Lord of the Rings extended edition DVDs kicked it all in to high gear; however, in this case, to New Line Cinema's credit, the re-releases were made known to the public even before the films were initially released to the theaters. Still, having to buy Gladiator again on DVD sucks, so I too will be waiting longer from now on. I already practice this with computer games for similar reasons.
As far as capitalism at its worst, I agree, but then capitalism by my definition is already "at its worst" by default. The only way to conquer it is to beat it at its own game. Supply and demand. I say download the extra tracks for free. Yes, where you've made the purchase already once, perhaps even twice, I can justify "piracy".
