| Posted: | | | | Sorry, me again, with more questions. I'm updating the 1-Disc Unrated Edition of Hancock, locality Canada, and I've got two questions to ask... so far... Where is an acceptable place to get the SRP from? Both chapters.indigo.ca and amazon.ca have the original SRP listed @ $34.90. Is that sufficient info to change the SRP from the currently listed 0.00 (in pounds) to $34.90 Canadian? Also, the back cover has the DVD listed as 2.40:1 aspect ratio. That's not an option for me in the drop down box. Can I just type that in, or do I have to choose one of the listed options? They may be more as I go along... | | | The night is calling.

You just simply type that in Thank-you very much kind sir! I wasn't sure if I was just limited to those options and it had been decided somewhere along the way that 2.40:1 was supposed to be entered in as something else or something. Much appreciated! | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |

| Posted: | | | | Those both sound like good sources for the SRP. I personally prefer using a minimum of three sources, but certainly wouldn't vote no to those two. I don't know who released Hancock in Canada, but if they have one, check their website - they may also list the SRP of the DVD. That's a more authoritative source than online shops. | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

I've looked for a third and so far have come up emtpy. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment handled the release for Hancock here in Canada, and checking their website, the only press release on the DVD's seems to refer to the U.S. editions of the DVD (typical... ). I'll keep looking for a third source just to be safe. | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |

| Posted: | | | | Amazon.ca and Amazon.com are a couple of good sites for SRP., One of the funny things we have to keep in mind with New releases and the SRP is the first price set for the one title. We may get the title of Hancock (cdn) today at $34.90 and in six months from now that same title title same UPC same art work, may be selling for only $19.99 (cdn)/. Then there is the first day sales are usually marked down for the first few days by as much as 20% . Walmart etc is famous for that . But the actually SRP is what is listed on the websites.
and don't forget the vast majority of new releases are released on a Tuesday. The weekdate date set in stone for major retailers such as BlockBusters or Rogers Video to unwrap, computerize and barcode a few hundred titles for their in store rentals . Tuesday being one of the slowest days of the week for in store activity of said customers. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| Posted: | | | | Also keep inmind that SRP is a moving target. The best place to egt it would be from a Studio site, but that ...more often than not is not available. There is no law that says that this isthe SRP and you will use it Mr. Retailer. You will find variations up to as much as $.25 depending on the policies unique to that retailer for how they handle SRP. This is why we say in the Rules doi not change the SRP fpr pennies.
