No idea. I think the idea of an RRP is silly, especially when a disc is first released. They should say "this is the price, end of".

As far as I'm aware, most releases have three prices: – a dealer listing price, which is how much a retailer pays for the unit – a recommended retail price, which is how much the distributor thinks the retailer should charge and – the actual price the customer pays This may not be the case with all labels, but it's how it is laid out on the press releases from Eureka, for example.

88 Films Upcoming releases Quote:
Bloody hell! That makes the £7.99 price HMV sell 88's discs for, even more ludicrous!

That would mean 88 films are selling blurays to HMV for £1 odd if we are to believe that they only make £1 odd off each sale. Or, worst deal ever, they sell to HMV who then set the price and send £1 odd per copy sold to 88 films. It just doesn't make sense how HMV can sell so low but 88 Films dont get a proper share. Surely 88 Films make their money before HMV even receive their copies to sell.

You could probably knock £7-£8 off and change the numbers slightly – I was only getting a 'for example', rather than a definitive explanation of how the industry works.

I always thought the retailer ordered X amount of discs at a set fee payable to the distributor, say £5 a disc, then sell them for whatever they wanted. I can find out as i know someone who ran an indie record shop for several years before he was sold the business. |

That's the thing, I'm sure there are different ways different companies do it. I just want them to sell American Ninja ar a reasonable price so they can get a decent profit if they put them all in individual blu-ray cases
