Fox is being boycotted in the UK - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

I was just reading about this... apparently in the UK all the DVD news and online stores are boycotting Fox for being so crap and expensive.

Read about it here http://www.dvdnews.co.uk/FoxBoycott/

How about some more of this kinda stuff? Disney may be getting their act together a little, but the prices are still too damn high.

Anyone capable of adapting this to a Di$ney banner?

Great... all you need to do now is replace the 20£ with 20$ and we're all set

I second the Disney nomination.
GO pick up a copy of HALLOWEEN H2O and try and figure why they left all the advertised features off!

I say screw Disney and you better believe I will be placing a call in about false advertising on the box!

SOB's!!!!!

***Chromy*** · 10-18-1999, 05:23 AM

Yeah, sure, now you tell me Dom

What is the deal with the H2O box? Missed that one. They got stuff all ass backwards again?

It seems they advertise a commentary track on the box, but there is none to be found on the disc. Bummer.

Shouldn't that be $34? With todays currency rate £20 is $34. Don't wanna be picky, but...

Dominik Pfleghaar · 10-19-1999, 10:58 AM

Now don't tell me you really wanna pay more than $20 for such a Di$ney DVD??????

A problem with modifying the banner for Disney is that "RRP" doesn't mean anything in the U.S. If you read the article, it stands for recommended retail price, which apparently Fox isn't setting in the U.K. Is that the real problem with Disney? No suggested price? Or is it high prices and features listed on the packaging but not on the DVD.
