It appears that Fox has decreased the retail price on a number of their (and MGM) catalogue titles. This new retail price of $29.98 is reflected at Amazon, though at the time of writing some of the Amazon prices have not changed to reflect this discount.
It is great to finally see Fox understand that we don’t want to pay the same price (or more!) for Fox catalogue titles that we pay for new releases from the other studios. See original story for list of titles.

Good thing I bought the ones I wanted during the BOGOF deals.
No kidding. A list price of only $30. Yeah, um I think I will pass for now.
So… which major studio titles had a list price below $28.95 for HD DVD or Blu-ray?
You imply that $29.98 is somehow ludicrously high.
Granted now that HD DVD is being clearanced, the list price is less but before Jan, Universal, Paramount and Warner were all $29 or $30 list for catalogue titles.
