True the Princess Mononoke $99.95 VHS price tag was ridiculous, however we sometimes have to pay it being fans. HK sets are illegal no doubt about that. For example the Cowboy Bebop Perfect Sessions is so illegal I don't know where to begin. They copied the DUB (copyrighted material) and used the SUB (more copyrighted material), not to mention they used the menus (even more copyrighted material) as well as case art work (all together now...copyrighted material). I agree that prices are way too high, but there are signs of improvement. For example
Ranma 1/2 Season 7
3 episodes VHS - DUB $19.95(used to be 2 episodes for $24.95)
3 episodes DVD - Hybrid $24.95(used to be 3 episodes for $29.95)
Key the Metal Idol
3 dvds $29.95 each for the entire series Hybrid
Rurouni Kenshin
upped the episodes per volume # from 4 to 5
Pretty much any animeigo DVD
same price as VHS $24.95
Zenki Demon Prince
2 2DVD sets of 13 episodes each Hybrid for only $39.95
AD Vision and VIZ have been making very affordable DVD moves as well
