Very well said, on all counts.
About the price, I think that's another area where we've been spoiled recently due to the Internet and supermarkets under cutting high street stores to the extent that the stores that I frequented when I started buying things to watch at home – Virgin Megastore, Our Price, Woolworth's etc – have now gone and, many years ago I would have been happy to pay £20 for a DVD of a film from the 1970s, but now almost expect that same sort of film to be released on Blu-ray for under £10.
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to take a step back, remember how things used to be, and realise how good consumers have it these days.
