Reddit reviews Breaking Bad: The Complete Series (2013 Barrel) [Blu-ray]

To add onto your statement:

1. Get rid of the notion that $20 is acceptable to charge for a single title. There is no way in hell I am paying $200+ for all of Breaking Bad.
   
   
   
2. Steam does it right and if the RIAA/MPAA had its collective shit together, there'd be something along those lines. Instead they choose greed for the lion's share of the profits and miserably fail at their own attempts. There should be Halloween, Christmas, Summer, etc. sales for titles. As well, this would make bundling a lot easier; think of something like the George Lucas collection or the full Star Trek series.
   
   
   
3. This is in regards to other software too. Solidworks, Photoshop, etc. should have sale prices for personal use. Paying $250 just to get the chance to be CSWA certified is fucking ridiculous.

IIIIIIIIII CANNNNNNNN SHOOOOOOOOOOO YOU THE WORRRRRLLLLDDD

I think the heart of the matter is, in the words of Gabe Newell (Blessed be His name);

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

I used to pirate video games all the time, but since I stated using Steam I've almost completely stopped it. I already have more games in my library than I could possibly finish playing for the foreseeable future, and it's provided by an affordable and reliable service. There's just no reason for me to look elsewhere.

The Anime industry needs to emulate this. Today I can legally download a huge selection of video games but for most anime shows legal streams are simply not available. There needs to be a reliable service which doesn't block out big parts of the world. Not to justify my piracy but I do think producers share some of the blame for why piracy is as widespread as it is. Why is it completely impossible for me to legally watch their show even if I'm willing to pay for it?

It's also the fact that often buying these shows is outrageously expensive. I mean, just compare:

The first 7 Episodes of Sword Art online on DVD cost about as much as the full second season of Game of Thrones on Blu-ray

The limited edition Blu-ray release of the 11 episode run of Nisemonogatari costs about the same as Pre-ordering the entire 62 episode run of Breaking bad on blu-ray

The first season of Haruhi Suzumiya on DVD costs more than All 8 Harry Potter movies on Blu-ray

It may look like I'm cherrypicking but I'm really not. When you buy anime the amount of content you get for your money is far less than if you spend that same amount of money on western shows. This is one of the reasons I own relatively few anime series. I can only accept these kinds of prices if I absolutely must own the show. I do hope you take the price factor into consideration, I feel it's often overlooked and I do think it's one of the things that keeps sales so low. I mean, Haruhi came out 7 years ago. Western shows that old can usually be found for peanuts. One Anime I genuinely wanted to buy was Shinsekai Yori but the series was split in 9 Volumes each costing about 50-80$. Even as a huge fan of the series I just don't have that kind of money.

You mean the barrel set, right?

That's cool. But like I said, it's not the same as a complete box set that many shows get, like LOST and Breaking Bad, which are in one box and include exclusive content not available in the individual seasons. TOS didn't get that complete series treatment... I doubt TNG will either.

Haven't seen this packaging IRL yet, but it looks cool.

It was included in the series box set.

-No Half Measures: Creating the Final Season of Breaking Bad - An all-new, exclusive two hour documentary that chronicles the filming of the final eight episodes.

It was also included in the regular edition of the series box set. I just like the barrel edition more.
