Damn, for that price they can keep it.

Ouch!

WickyWoo · 06-01-2008, 04:32 PM

Standard pricing for something like that in Japan

Blu-Runner · 06-01-2008, 04:50 PM

Can't wait to get the Matrix films on Blu-ray here. I just hope they don't use double sided discs like on the HD DVD version. Surely they won't...

bajor27 · 06-01-2008, 04:51 PM

I'm more interested in the date. Maybe we'll get the same (although the 18th cuz that's a Tuesday)

Would probably be the same day speed racer streets - although with how much money they need to remake on speeds dvd/blu release, they'd be much better off releasing it on it's own, some week with very little competition.

I don't even think Blu-ray/DVD combo discs are possible...

iownu · 06-01-2008, 04:54 PM

wow...I'll be getting that special edition hopefully :P Although I don't need a Spaceship.

The HD DVD release of the trilogy wasn't the typical WB standard/high-def combo discs, though. The second side contained the supplements I believe. But I doubt they'd have reasons to do that on a BD50.

Here's to hoping that double-sided Blu-ray discs aren't possible...

iownu · 06-01-2008, 05:09 PM

If it's just a laser and data it should be easily possible.

Have you seen the new 300GB optical storage discs? (holographic). The burners cost $18k USD.

Btw, I have to start changing my USD designations to EU or CAD since the USD is on its way out lol

The Amero is another story.

39,800 Yen = $380 USD that is not the price you will see here in the USA

X-Ninja · 06-01-2008, 06:07 PM

Wait, Is it region free?

For this price you could rent the ship

Cplhicks · 06-02-2008, 10:20 AM

It has 4 blu-ray discs and 3 DVDs of special features. Wonder what we'll get in the States? Too bad the features are DVD instead of BR discs. Still, if it's coming to Japan on 11/19, you can guess the US/Europe will probably get it somewhere around there. Maybe to go with a Speed Racer release?

Doh! Didn't realize there was another thread.

I'll go for the regular boxset. This is a bit to expensive for me.
