"Sunshine" from Japan - Blu-ray Forum

Croweyes1121 · 07-02-2007, 10:55 AM

Hey, guys. I need some advice. I'm wanting the Japanese Blu-Ray of Sunshine desperately, but I'm not willing to spend $46 on it. That just seems ridiculous, especially considering that the disc itself is only $30 of that, the rest is shipping to the states. Can anyone direct me to anywhere other than Amazon Japan that might have a better deal on this? Like something with free shipping? I'm a first-time importer, so I'm not sure if it will be financially feasible for me to do or if I should just wait for an eventual domestic release. I would love that Japanese import, though. I thought this movie was absolutely incredible. It's the first movie in a very long time that I've seen at home and will still go back and lay down my hard-earned money to re-experience on the big screen as well once it comes out. Anyway, any help on this? I would pay $35 total for it. I might even be able to stretch $40, but anything over that for one movie is just too much for a single-income dad trying to justify the purchase to his wife. lol

greetings crowe although amazon is costly i don't think you will find someone offering free shipping plus amazon are always a good bet safety wise so you will get your order and get good service even if it costs a bit extra.

so let your pocket take the hit but get your order safely and not risk your card getting hijacked is my humble advice.

It's my must see title on BD, having said that, I've waited some months for it, I'm prepared to wait some more

You can check these two sites. I think the second site had free shipping.

Checked playasia.com - they are nearly 50+ bux plus shipping.

Can you even order from Amazon? You do realize the movie does not come out until September right? Leaving several months for the BD to hit the states.

Japanese imports tend to cost a lot, so I doubt you'll find anywhere much cheaper than that.

I plan on ordering from YesAsia once they have it listed. It should be around $43-48 shipped when it becomes available.

So its not just me, because I am not finding it.
