Nit; it's not really an option to buy above a price you can afford.
It's certainly possible to pay more than one would normally think is fair.
People complain about windowing, but it is a sign that the movie industry is flexible about pricing to maximize the value they capture, unlike the music industry, TV industry, etc.
When a movie comes out these days it often comes out in multiple editions with different features (not to mention Blu Ray, DVD or both) at different price points. If you want it right away you will pay a high price, but the movie they sell for $20 one day will probably be on sale for $10 or $5 at some point in the future.

Contrast that to music CD and track prices that are almost always the same, or the "take it or leave it" bundle offered by the cable companies.
