It is true. They are soooo greedy. If they just dropped the price of their tickets and DVDs more people would actually pay for them. Cinema prices are such a rip off. It costs us $50 here even before the candy bar to see a movie. More if you want 'silver class' or 'gold class'. The cinemas themselves look like they are staffed by 14 year olds. I suppose they come cheaper. But the tickets don't. It works out cheaper to pay full retail price of a DVD buy chocolates and ice cream from the super market and make popcorn at home. Which is what we do now except I'm with you Damien in the try before you buy department. Same with software. Thousands of dollars for much of it. And most of it was stolen from others in the first place. A la Microsoft and Xerox.
