FOX to Sell First 4 Episodes of Season 6 on DVD
I’ve been hearing rumors around the internet, and it’s sounding like FOX is going to be selling the first 4 episodes of this upcoming season on DVD the Tuesday after the Sunday/Monday four hour season premiere.
To tell you the truth I’m not sure what FOX is trying to accomplish with this.
If it’s an effort to try and curb the bittorrent crew out there, I just don’t see it working.
The disc is going to cost $14.98, which is a little under half of what you’d pay for the entire DVD once it came out (Amazon always sells pre-oder DVD’s at a very discounted price).
I think it’s an innovative idea, don’t get me wrong, but I just don’t understand the overall thinking of this plan. This will not stop the bittorrent people out there. And are the networks REALLY worried about bittorrents? The amount of people that actually have a Tivo or DVR and use those to skip commercials seem to dwarf the amount of people that know how to effectively download and use bittorrents.
I’ll be interested to see what sort of numbers they put up after this. Like how many sold. It’ll be interesting.
