Catalog titles, Sony announced Padres Ozzie Smith Jersey , will sell for $17.95, which is approximately the price in which DVD's were sold at upon being released on the market several years back.

Benjamin Feingold, president of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment explained. "The higher pricing structure for new releases is meant to accommodate the sell-through and rental markets."

Another interesting thing will be to take note of the pricing announcement for HD-DVD Padres Eric Hosmer Jersey , which should be coming soon.
Another thing which Sony is going to begin to rollout is that of the DVDUMD bundle, which will eventually turn into the Blu-RayUMD bundle.

"A lot of people have DVD players and also have PSPs Padres Wil Myers Jersey , and this way for one price they can get one movie and play it back on both formats," Feingold said explaining the move.
