While a two-disc release with better sources would be appreciated, maybe they're doing what they can with what MGM gives them to use. As such, they're able to charge so little and the compression doesn't actually affect the lesser-looking titles too much. We're already seeing an upgrade for THE NEANDERTHAL MAN into the HD realm after that was released on one of these types of sets, so one never knows what's next...
