Jay 37,322 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yea my only exceptions to that rule are Criterions, Disney/Pixar, and elaborate box sets (like the Ultimate Harry Potters). But you can eventually get any regular blu ray release for $4-$8 if you wait patiently and/or deal-hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yep, often if you are patient you can get a title that was 20 or 25 euro's for less then 10. Just because some time passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda, my Criterion collection is probably way above average. I think it takes up a shelf and a half. Click here to browse it.Yea my only exceptions to that rule are Criterions, Disney/Pixar, and elaborate box sets (like the Ultimate Harry Potters). But you can eventually get any regular blu ray release for $4-$8 if you wait patiently and/or deal-hunt.The only Disney titles I bit on were The Lion King and The Incredibles. They overcharge like crazy. If I spend $25 on a Criterion title, I never feel robbed, yet I somehow always do with Disney. Maybe it's simply because I don't love their films enough to get my money's worth. With box sets, unless it's an already reasonable I'll wait until it hits Gold Box. No way am I paying $75 for Indiana Jones or The Lord Of The Rings.Yup.

Wycket 36 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Was thinking about picking up Begins as I still only have it on DVD. If its got movie cash than that's a buy for me.

Admiral Holdo 16 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8930In October, Warner Home Entertainment will bring Little Shop of Horrors to Blu-ray. This 1986 adaptation of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken's popular off-Broadway musical - which, in turn, took its inspiration from Roger Corman's 1960 cult classic - stars Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters) as Seymour Krelborn, a meek florist who forms an unusual bond with a man-eating plant called Audrey II (voiced by Four Tops member Levi Stubbs).Warner will include two digitally remastered versions of the film on one disc - the theatrical edition and a director's cut, which features a restored twenty-minute alternate ending. The Blu-ray also contains the following supplements:Commentary by director Frank OzFrank Oz and Little Shop of Horrors: The Director's Cut introductionA Story of Little Shop of Horrors behind-the-scenes featuretteOuttakesDeleted scenesTheatrical trailersHuge fan of this movie, I could quote it from beginning to end when I was a kid.

I purchesd Fantasia & Fantasia 2000 for 20 euros in amazon, and if I got the 2 movies from here, it would be 62 euros!!!)The Twilight time Blurays' price for which many are complaining, is the regular price of BLurays here..

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Well, the other Hitchcock box is obviously better-looking. The American box seems more compact and practical, even if it appears like they just ran out of room for Hitchcock's name with a big font size. I wish we were getting another new movie instead of North By Northwest.The E.T. spaceship from the German set is awful. Looks like a big McDonald's toy, grossly inaccurate to the legendary McQuarrie ship. The thrusters are comically oversized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
