Other companies will happily let their DVDs go out of print. Disney is just one of the few to warn you ahead of time.you know, that whole "in the vault" marketing ploy is why I stopped buying disney movies.
Does this also apply to the iTunes Store? Will these films get yanked from there as well?
With Amazon's used sellers and Ebay there is rarely a problem getting a movie.
I've always thought this was an incredibly stupid marketing ploy, even more so in this day and age of the internet. Disney is practically encouraging people to illegally download their movies.
The vault works the other way, too. It's keeping people from buying their products that HAVEN'T been released yet. I've been waiting for Aladdin on Blu-Ray (it is my favorite Disney animated feature), but it's been stuck in the vault. It was supposed to get released this year, but was cancelled. There's a region-free version on Amazon, but it's got no bonus features, and I'm not sure if it's been remastered.I've always thought this was an incredibly stupid marketing ploy, even more so in this day and age of the internet.

"The Lion King" and "Lady and the Tramp" are going back into the Disney vault starting on April 30th. Get the Blu-Rays before they triple in price.
