Let's see, the Wraith of Khan was released in 1983 for $40, half the normal price and is credited with starting the trend to release at lower prices.

Top Gun came out in 1986, for $25. So the Wraith of Khan was the first VHS released at the lower price($40 instead of $80), but Top Gun was the first released at the $25 price point.
