1.8 How much do discs cost?

It varies, but most DVD movies list for $20 to $30 with street prices
between $15 and $25, even those with supplemental material. Low-priced
movies can be found for under $10. So far DVD has not followed the initial
high rental price model of VHS.

DVD-ROMs will initially be slightly more expensive than CD-ROMs since there
is more on them, they cost more to replicate, and the market is smaller.
But once production costs drop and the installed base of drives grow,
DVD-ROMs will cost about the same as CD-ROMs today.
