Transformers Blu-ray RRP $99.95 (In New Zealand) - Blu-ray Forum

Transformers Blu-ray RRP $99.95 (In New Zealand) I couldn't believe this when I saw it http://www.gpstore.co.nz/DVDs/1565868.html
This is how ridiculous Blu-ray pricing is in my country 90% of Blu-rays are $50 The Popular ones are $60.

This is why i import most of my Blu-rays.

thats almost $70 usd

wow

kennerado · 08-26-2008, 11:17 AM

Insane!

Blu Titan · 08-26-2008, 11:19 AM

That amount cannot be justified.

Belloche · 08-26-2008, 01:18 PM

That's it ,I have officially *****ed about Canadian prices for the last time. It must take awhile to get imports in New Zealand too.

zardoz · 08-26-2008, 01:27 PM

100$ ?
this is at least what they should pay me to watch that piece of garbage again

If you have the smarts, start a BD Kiwi company and offer better deals. Make it a mail-order business at the start, just like Amazon.

STARSCREAM · 08-27-2008, 03:45 AM

That is ridiculous.

kopkiwi · 08-27-2008, 03:51 AM

And that my friend is exactly why I bought a US PS3 and order from Amazon. Not a day in hell will I buy Blu-rays from NZ the prices here give me heart attacks.

dgator783 · 08-27-2008, 04:08 AM

I wonder if ull get a price break for LOTR.....?

richieb1971 · 08-27-2008, 04:28 AM

I paid $26 for region free goodness. You should too. There are at least 5 well known sites you can buy from. I don't know why people post these prices from other countries. Someone could sell a pair of socks for a million quid but I ain't buying them and I don't care who does.

Dj G · 08-27-2008, 04:48 AM

GP store does seem to be more expensive than some other places in NZ, i found JB-Hifi has pretty good prices sometimes compared to other NZ shops that is. They also have some good offers for New Block buster Releases otherwise i saw that the Warehouse near me is starting to sell a few more Blu's and the price was not that bad for the ones i saw they did only have a few movies though.

The lack of titles and the time before we actually get the titles compared to every where else gets to me now and then.

shazzed · 08-27-2008, 05:21 AM

Get it form your neighbours ( Australia -region B )

AU$49.83 (NZ$56.598) + post
--
btw that is US$43.252 compared the Amazon price of US$24.95

We get bent over a barrel here in AUS and NZ folks get a kick in the groin as well as.

theprophecy247 · 08-27-2008, 05:51 AM

cheap stuff huh lol

Nielsb90 · 09-01-2008, 06:23 AM

I know what you mean there bro! Here in Denmark EVERY title cost $50 US ! ITs so stupid! Even the old ones! And we barely have any titles either! Big mistake by the companies if you ask me! Most people dont even know what Blu-Ray is, cause of the high prices! Just tried to order Pans Labyrinth and The Orphanage from dvd.co.uk, but they wont send it, because its not out here yet! Screw the European Union, and screw our insane taxes, VAT and so on, and so on!!

STARSCREAM · 09-01-2008, 08:46 AM

D#mn, they should give you a piece of the shire with every purchase!!

Sky_Captain · 09-01-2008, 11:57 PM

Is there only one player in the country or something?
