Can anyone tell me how the different distributors of DVDs in our country cut down their prices gradually? I'm quite new to these DVD talks. It would really be helpful! :)
Thanks in advance!

Look out for sales that occur quarterly (March, June, Sept., etc.). The frequency increases when nearing the Christmas holidays.

Star Records - Price Seldom Change. Pricey at 695 or so for local movies.
Viva (ABC, Fox, Disney, MGM). 550 or 750 at launch. Discounted to 299 or so after around 3 months or during sales at malls.
C Interactive (New Line, etc). Variable pricing. 199 to @695 depending on desirability of title. Discounts after a few months but mostly not permanent.
Magnavision (Sony, Paramount): Giftset pricey. Imported 695 1 disc. @895 - 2 discs. 375 -550 locally pressed DVDs. Discounted to 375 then 275, then 199, then 125 after maybe 6 months, 9 months, a year, 2 years.
Warner. 475 - 895. Discounts after 6-9 months. Warner is closing shop, so the next distributor's pricing scheme is unknown.
Solar: 199-350. Discounts unknown. But discs are often of low PQ. Avoid unless absolutely wanted.
General guide. Prices are approximation. And Discounts scheme )(like buy-one-take-one, etc) are frequently changed in a dynamic market. And sometimes, distributors will throw a few curveballs to spice up the market.

Always check prices between stores
