Demand Soars for TV Dvds

Sales of TV shows on DVDs are continuing to soar, with sales during the first quarter rising 20 percent above those for the same period a year ago, according to Nielsen VideoScan. Home Media Retailing magazine reported that total sales in the category are expected to reach nearly $3 billion this year versus $2.3 billion in 2004. Distributors, meanwhile, are rushing out new releases at a record rate -- 211 have either been released or announced so far this year, nearly half of them multiple sets, commanding far higher prices than single-disc releases.

This is good news for shows that haven't been released yet.

Cool. Let's hope it continues to rise so we can get rarer, older shows out too.
