I don't buy R1 DVDs to support companies. I can't believe what you guys are saying, "I usually only support R1 companies if their releases are affordable". Does that mean you buy R1s solely to support them? I think that's mighty odd rhetoric otherwise. I buy R1s to support my need for anime, and nothing more and only when it's cheap, a single DVD/movie or such a good price (Tenchi Movies 1-3 for $14 a piece, that's a good price). Anyways, considering all the anime companies own the copyrights to the respective animes, it's a monopoly for each series, and there's nothing we can do. Competitive pricing is when you have two companies with the same product vying for your service. Low anime DVD prices are the anime companies being nice enough to fuck us too much.
Lastly, $100 for TNG seasons doesn't cut it, I want $60 seasons. Those boxes and DVDs don't cost $100 to make...more like $5.
