Let's see that's $280 (plus tax) for the first twenty Wrestlemanias which comes out to roughly $14 per Wrestlemania. $14-16 is a pretty standard Best Buy price for a special edition movie DVD, so even with all the extras it's not like it's a particularly good deal. I much rather just buy my favorite Wrestlemanias then get a set with the first 20. After 14 or 15 they kinda started to to go downhill.
I would much rather see packages done year by year like a 1990 package with all the PPVs from that year and then highlights from the Saturday Main Events or Monday Night Raws or whatever TV shows they had going that year.

Note that estimated prices are that or higher depending on where you live. They listen Constantine being $30 for the 2 disc, but I got it at BBY for about $20. Same with box sets. I still see it being $250 easy, but check out the BBY ads that first week it's out. You still make a strong valid point about getting the ones you want vs. ALL!

I've seen places like Target and FYE charge upwards of $19.99 - 25.99 for some new releases, but I would never pay that. I don't care how many special features it has. When I see both Wayne's World movies and both Ghostbusters movies at $9.99 each, I suddenly can't bring myself to $25 for the 2 disc Anchorman set.

2-Disc!? I got the three disc. I'm still VERY happy about that choice.

I was thinking of the 2-pack with Anchorman and Wake Up, Ron Burgundy, I guess that is 3 discs... my bad. I'm generally hesitant to buy comedies because you KNOW they'll get shown ad nausem on TBS and TNT within a year or two of the initial DVD release and jokes get less funny when you hear them over and over again. I can only watch Holy Grail like once every two years because I've just seen it too many times. Besides, you only need to see a movie two or three times to memorize all the good quotes. And quoting a movie is the next best thing to actually watching it.

True, true, but sometimes watching a movie over and over is about the visual of it. You can quote "Batman and Robin" until the cows come home, but you need to see that horrible clip of Robin choking in the water where he comes out and then they just reverse it so he goes back under. A shot later, it's the same shot played out in its entirety.
That film is my Patch Adams, I watch it whenever I'm sick. Interestingly enough, I usually get better afterwards

I agree, but I tend to find it to be more true with action movies than comedies. As a result, I tend to own more action movies. Movies like Commando or Running Man. A lot of Arnie's one-liners just aren't as good without the visual. Where's Sully? I had to let him go. Classic.

I think this post needs to be moved to movies as it got completely off topic.
