Can you give us some approximate prices on the DVD's?
I know that the Sigel/Reyes match in the past cost a whopping $50 USA, which in my opinion is far,far too expensive.I also think Accu-stats matches at $25-$30 are a little too expensive as well, especially the older DVD's that can be re-copied for a mere 40 cents per DVD blank.Why so much???
At least Accu-stats costs although expensive aren't through the roof like a $50 IPT DVD is.
When you can buy an older DVD of a Hollywood movie (for $5-$10) that cost millions of dollars to make, why are pool matches so damn expensive. In the movies the actors/actresses get paid millions of dollars.The pool players for Accustats only get a dollar or two for every DVD sold that they play in.Only a handful of populiar players like Reyes get a decent cheque.
In my opinion if matches were say a reasonable $10-$15, I'm sure a ton of people(including myself) would buy them.At $50 a pop, only coke dealers, thiefs,strung out pool junkies and the richer crowd amongst us need apply.

ps. Sorry for the rant because I'm sure Dino Andrews and Pat Flemming will tell us that production costs,including paying commentators and TV stations are probably pretty high.
