That's why newspapers here in the UK have been giving away movies. When CDs were first released here they cost 9.99 GBP against approx 5-6 GBP for an LP. The company I'm currently working at manufacture DVD/VHS products. They've just announced that VHS manufacture in the UK is to be totally discontinued in 3 months time.

The record store owner joked that his profit margin on vinyl and Cd's was the same, But that the Labels made at least twice as much or more on CD sales. He also said that the CD price was based on the vinyl price not on what it cost to make a CD.
