The Day The Earth Stood Still 2008 on Blu Feb 5 in Thailand.

That's good to know about The Day The Earth Stood Still. That means the price is going to be much lower but I had to skip out on a lot of exclusive BDs when I was there.

I wanted Peter Pan (2003) and The Rundown but at 1,100 baht a piece...that was just too much to pay. I did get Almost Famous and Kung Fu Hustle (which was the uncut HK disc) which was about $65 US.

Compare that to me spending less than $30 US for about six DVDs. I got Step Up 2: The Streets on DVD for about $5. I also like how Thailand does music CDs. You can save $3 - $5 US by buying the Thailand Special Edition which omits the liner notes. I got the Mamma Mia! soundtrack and Colbie Caillet CDs for around $8 US each.

Oddly, eThaiCD only stocks one Blu-ray Disc and the only physical stores I could find BDs were Boomerang and the Sony Store. Funny story: I was looking for the Boomerang store in MBK Center. I found it on the fourth floor with the mobile phones in the far corner. It was wedged between stores selling street bootleg discs. The sign for Boomerang in MBK Center has "Original VCD and DVD" added to it.
