Good question, I would say that they should be more than the regular DVD since they always are when you buy a movie. They range from 22-34$ for most IIRC. Why don't we say $47? Anyone else want to take a shot at it? By the way I just started or I should say attempted to start to watch the DVD#1 tonight. You have out done yourself yet again! I only was able to get 5 minutes into it but what I saw rocked. I only wish there was a way I could have gotten the kids to do their homework without having to turn it off ;-). Oh well there is always tomorrow night!
