ISU football DVD WTF

**dmclone** · 08-26-2009, 01:59 PM

Maybe I'm just not a big enough ISU fan or something but this is ridiculous

DVD of all 12 regular season games-$244 before Sept. 12 or $288 after

2009 Football DVD Season Ticket - Iowa State DVD Store - Official Team Store

Who would come up with this price and say to themselves "yeah there will be a lot of people willing to pay $240 to see ISU on DVD"?

They probably figure parents of the players will purchase them, and that's a significant contribution. That said, it's a considerable mark-up for what most likely will not be a highly sought commodity.

By my may thats about $20 / game - cheaper than season tickets and an alternative for those that can't make games (farmers, people who live too far away)

May not be a huge demand for it, but there is probably some market for it

I thought the same thing.

I'd consider buying it for $50.00 or less, but anything over $100 is outrageous, especially considering the prevalence of DVR in this day and age...

Of course DVR requires the game to be on TV, which is not always the case for us.

Since it is being marketed as a "season ticket" of sorts to those who cannot make the games, I am not surprised that they are charging that much for it, but it still ridiculous. For the amount of content on each disc, the price should really not exceed $10 per.

Disappointed there is no Blu-ray though.

Do you think they lay the audio of John Walters over the video and cut plays like they do on Mediacom Replays

I save money by only buying DVDs of the wins.

I guess the use of jim is misleading, but yes, that's exactly what they do

Each DVD includes the "Cyclone Express," a full game edited for length with Cyclone Radio Network commentary

If I won the lottery I still wouldn't pay half of that. Bad fan...bad fan.
