Editing DualDisc (section)

==Hopes for DualDisc==
Record companies had two main hopes for DualDiscs; the first being that they would eventually replace CDs as the preferred media for purchase at music retailers,<ref>''[http://billboard.blogs.com/billboardpostplay/2005/05/dualdisc_artist.html DualDisc Artists Holding Top Spots]'', billboardpostplay.com, May 19, 2005</ref> and the second that the inclusion of bonus DVD content at a price similar to a conventional CD would help to slow down online music [[Copyright infringement|piracy]] by giving consumers more incentive to buy their music through retailers.<ref>Joshua O'Connell, ''[http://www.fairfieldmirror.com/news/2005/03/17/Entertainment/New-Dualdisc.Format.Ups.The.Ante.Against.Music.Piracy-896559.shtml New DualDisc Format Ups the Ante Against Music Piracy] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050414102837/http://www.fairfieldmirror.com/news/2005/03/17/Entertainment/New-Dualdisc.Format.Ups.The.Ante.Against.Music.Piracy-896559.shtml |date=April 14, 2005 }}'', The Fairfield Mirror, March 17, 2005</ref><ref>Anthony Breznican, ''[https://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2005-04-25-springsteen-dualdisc_x.htm DualDisc breaks sound barrier]'', [[USA Today]], April 25, 2005</ref>
Some titles such as ''[[Devils & Dust]]'' by [[Bruce Springsteen]] and ''[[Straight Outta Lynwood]]'' by [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] have been released in the United States exclusively as DualDiscs.

===Costs versus conventional CDs===
In the United States, the cost of a DualDisc at retail versus that of a conventional CD varied depending on the title but, on average, a DualDisc cost about $1.50 to $2.50 [[United States dollar|USD]] more than the same title on CD.<ref>''[http://columbiaisa.freespaces.com/dualdisc_guide.htm DualDisc: CD and DVD on One Disc] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060403113817/http://columbiaisa.freespaces.com/dualdisc_guide.htm |date=April 3, 2006 }}'', accessed August 13, 2005</ref> Some DualDisc titles such as ''[[Mr. A-Z]]'' by [[Jason Mraz]] and ''[[In Your Honor]]'' by the [[Foo Fighters]] had enhanced packaging which increased the retail cost of the DualDisc version of the albums over their CD counterparts more than the average. There were also other factors which go into the additional costs such as production, marketing etc.
