And I thought - does he have any clue how expensive it is to manufacture a blu ray?

that was me. and to answer your question - yes, i understand how expensive it is to make, and how much of a risk it is for adam. can;t remember the details, but i can remember being told the estimated price to master 'love exposure' on BD; the license allowed for it but wasn't viable until, i guess, it was mastered for BD release in japan and made available to him? problem is third window set the price at £10 then said the store was suspended temporarily and has yet to put it back up. they set the precedent and judged the price - not me - and they've also said their store is going back up at some point soon-ish.
i've so much other stuff i can buy, stuff i've got that i've yet to find the chance to watch, that i can hold off any new purchases until i'm happy with the price. and who can honestly say they've never looked around for the best price on a disc? at times we don't need to, and at others we forget to, and it's even sometimes not an issue in the slightest, but although i'm particularly interested in japanese films and am also a fan of third window, i'm too old and low on money to intentionally make it no issue what so ever.
