Does anybody else remember McDonalds selling inexpensive VHS copies of popular movies like "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" with an additional food purchase, back when movies still cost a fortune?
>McDonald's Corp. will... sell Dances With Wolves for a bargain price.
As part of a special holiday promotion, McDonald's will sell the Oscar-winning movie for $7.99 with the purchase of a sandwich - at a time when video stores are selling it for its original list price, $99.98.

They sold several movies before "priced to own" movies became mainstream.
