Comments
Once again those wanting to use old media are being penalised, why don’t they allow choice? I’ll take it that they’ll keep increasing the price until we stop buying and they get put out of business then huh…..
Well its natural when everyone is shifting to digital, people who need film will have to pay more. Unfortunate but true.
