hmmm if it was confirmed they had the slip i'd jump at them! crazy what we will pay for a bit of foreign text on our steelbooks , but if we want to watch a asian movie and it has harcoded foreign subs - no way!!

There is a £7.00 difference in price if you buy from HMV! Thats without adding gift wrap though, just the steel itself.

 

[denizen]

Doubt these will prove to be worthy. Im sticking with the UK ones.

^

The quality of steelbooks from Japan are always better than the UK, plus the shrink wrap is also superior and you seem to get less (quality control issues) with Japanese Steelbooks compared to the UK equivalent.

Thats why I would rather pay a bit more for the satisfaction of knowing I am getting a great quality steel.
Plus the added bonus of the slips.

Cancelled my Amazon order and went with HMV.co.jp. This price is much cheaper and saves me $20+.

I will wait until Amazon matches the price of HMV. Very unlikely Amazon has no discount..

^ Is there a reason Amazon is preferred to HMV? I know HMV can ship to the US; just never used them before; and I know Amazon shipping is very high unless you can order a bunch of stuff to spread out the cost.

Amazon customer service is about as good as anyone could ever want. If something happens to your steelbooks you are covered by Amazon.

Amazon has a better selection of steelbooks & other special edition blu-rays. Like you said, if you can group a few items together, especially some that are on sale, the shipping cost isn't that bad. Plus you receive your items in 2 days, sometimes 1.



edit - and what Chip says is a great point. I've never been disappointed when buying from them.

Excellent CS.

And buying from Amazon supports our marvelous Hi-Def Ninja website

 

[AlexG]

Couldn't agree more about there CS. But as much I like to order from them again i'm saving between $40-45 ordering the same steelbooks thru hmv.co.jp.

Price dropped to ￥ 4,394 (27%).

 

[blu-steel]

Hopefully they will give it a full slip to cover up the awful artwork.

 

[AlexG]

I'm looking at Individual releases in the near future. Might cancel til' I see what the slip looks like. But yes the artwork isn't the greatest.
