Sin City Canadian import + ???? - Blu-ray Forum

aramis109 · 12-19-2008, 12:27 PM

Ok guys, help me out. I'm about to jump on the Canadian import of Sin City from Amazon.ca, but the shipping is a killer. What else do you recommend I add to get free shipping?

I'm thinking Dusk till Dawn and then resell it as I don't like that movie all that much, but that seems a little silly. What other exclusives are out there? If you want, take a look at my collection to get an idea of what I like.

Thanks guys!

*edit* Also... normally I hate these kinds of posts but, yeah... I'm a hypocrite.

Crim122 · 12-19-2008, 12:29 PM

all together it was less than 20 plus shipping for me

aramis109 · 12-19-2008, 12:31 PM

Yeah... it is. Think I might just do it anyway. Just realized the free shipping is only for Canadian addresses anyway.

Howdy, I picked up Sin City from Canada and Tin Man (both blu-ray of course!) from the UK and yes the shipping was high but the bottom line is do you want it? Your only on the rock one time, live like there is no tomorrow, cause there might not be! JUST DO IT!
Oh yeah, Sin City looks and sounds GREAT! worth every penny!

Did, screwed up a deal (lol miscommunication is my middle name!) and decided to just order it myself.

solar... I lived life just like that- then I got married.

robertc88 · 12-19-2008, 01:18 PM

Yep, Just do it. And I don't mean getting married!

mr.hidef · 12-19-2008, 01:21 PM

I got this title for a great price new on e-bay......$16.00 I think, and picture and sound were superb!

Red Hood · 12-19-2008, 01:59 PM

I think i may do it now.

Tarl · 12-19-2008, 06:47 PM

I see Sin City and From Dusk Til Dawn here in Canada at Future Shop for $12.99. Also I picked up A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket for $16.99 each at the same place.

I heard the image quality is very lacking on this SIN CITY blu ray... I would wait for the US release for sure.

image is great- macroblocking in some scenes however- but too my eye i cant fault it. not listed as a DTS HD MA track either but it most certainly is. which most of you prob know is a complete seller imo

Your source is lacking; you should see it before making any judgements. It's a solid release - unless you live and die for supplemental material.

By the way: if you want me to source out a copy of Sin City for you, PM me. Also, if you are interested in a Dark Knight Steelbook, I still have a couple left, you can combine that to save on shipping, I will sell for cost.

I Bought it Yesterday from Amazon.Ca, Got everything for about 25 bux with expidited Priority Shipping, and it will be here on the 23rd, next Tuesday. Confirmed with DHL International and Amazon.ca

PowellPressburger · 12-19-2008, 07:15 PM

I can't remember who it was that reviewed it or which site but the screen grabs looked not the best it really should. I buy a lot of imports but I know it will get better treatment as a US release as soon as they do it.

I am sure it is better than DVD at any rate...
