Ronin $41.95!?!?

[SilverBullet007]

When I saw this new in the pre-orders list I was so excited and the number I had in my head the whole time was $19.95... Are they retarded for selling this awesome but fairly old movie for this price?

[jurassic_pork]

that must be wrong.....when I checked directly at amazon for ronin blu-ray i did not even get a pre-order link. not sure whats up with this one but I'm sure it will be fixed.

They ain't as retarded as me. I preordered it. If the price doesn't come down, I'll probably cancel the Sunday before it ships.

Ronin is a great movie, but NOT worth more than $22. No way, no how.

Its because it is an Amazon authorized japanese import not a USA release...

This is a re-release right?

The previous version had no extras (missing the great director's commentary).

Anyone know about the extras (or lack of) on this one?

"Amazon Authorized"
So am I to assume that it will not be available anywhere else excpet at Amazon?

Regardless of what country it is from, I'm not paying $43 for any single movie. It could be an import from Saturn and they still aren't getting $43 from me for it.

ive been wanting to buy this for ages in the UK but the price is just ridiculous!

[Acierator]

That's pretty steep for a Blu-ray that had an utter crap (1 star PQ) transfer in Europe in 2007. Yes, I've got it and I loathe it . I don't know whether this is a proper remaster or not, but do yourselves a favor and wait for the review.

i picked this up for £18 when this first come out in hmv of all places lol

but as its one of my favorite films was worth the pick up

its a good disc and i dont think the pq is that bad but no extras which is a bit of a pi** take but thats fox for ya

There is only one price that is more ridiculous.

Evil Laugh (DVD) - $43.99

Made in the 1980's.

Uhm, the UK BD is region-locked. A Japanese import would be fine since they're the same region as the US, but be careful what you order. I made the mistake of importing this long ago.

i have one better

Dude where's my car? ..... 44.99 in Canada... I had to take a picture with my cell phone i was so shocked. Add the 15% tax and you got yourself a nice 50$+ blu-ray...

A few months ago Amazon started offering a few select import BDs that can be played on US players. This is good since Xploited Cinema has supposedly gotten out of the import Blu-ray business.
