@Carnage Only if you produce and sell enough units to offset the initial setup cost. I'm guessing they figured that a) the target audience for Plumbers Don't Wear Ties on 3DO in 2024 is close to 0 and b) the AVGN fanscollectorssuckers who would buy this item would just display it on a shelf rather than trying to play the game.
Had a quick check, at the highest per CD pressed, the price I found was USD3 per disc, and that was for 25 CDs. About 10 times the price of CDRs, but then you also have to burn the CDRs and you need a wage slave to do that. At series of 25000+, pressed CDs are the same price as raw CDRs.
Seems to be a bit of a toss with regards to price then, but unless your series are stupidly low, pressed CDs seems cheaper. Especially since you also get labels in that price, something that comes on top of CDRs, or you pay more for the CDRs with custom labels.
