The Digital Bits posted:Here's something exciting for you animation fans: Disney is due to release Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind as a Blu-ray+DVD Combo on 3/8/11 (SRP $39.99)! Extras on the Blu-ray will include The World of Ghibli, Creating Nausicaa, Enter the Lands, a Studio Ghibli Trivia Challenge and the original Japanese storyboards, while the included DVD will likely be the same disc as released previously by the studio. gently caress yes. Finally. I was just wondering earlier today when we'd start seeing some Ghibli Blu-Rays.

Not bluray but a friend of mine has been collecting DVDs for years (started back in high school in like 2001) and at last count I think he had over 3,000.

Harlock posted:That's just the SRP. You'll probably be able to pick it up for about $25 Best Buy and most other brick and mortar shops will never carry a Ghibli release (none of them carry Criterions), so they'll be at full price at Barnes & Noble. If I reserve them, MovieStop will have them at a reasonable price. Although, I guess Amazon is an option.

When the DVDs of Porco Rosso, The Cat Returns, and Nausicaa came out in 2005, they were definitely in stores. Although you should almost always buy online for the cheapest price.

I remember Ponyo got a decent release, because it actually went into theaters. For about 6 months, Target carried DVDs of all the old Ghibli films (Porco Rosso, Nausicaa, etc.), although I don't know what the occasion was - but then they were gone.

It's not really surprising since it's a Warner release, Inception US Blu-ray is fairly average (for a Warner release). http://imgur.com/9VTjo.jpg http://imgur.com/sQfkq.jpg http://imgur.com/46Au3.jpg http://imgur.com/VZY4E.jpg http://imgur.com/BLmCb.jpg http://imgur.com/9xvgb.jpg http://imgur.com/Dsmet.jpg http://imgur.com/AkVR1.jpg http://imgur.com/4lZlb.jpg http://imgur.com/mNGRJ.jpg

On Nov. 30 Best Buy is giving you $10 off if you buy The Sorcerer's Apprentice ($26.99) and Fantasia ($29.99) together. Subtract an additional $10 for the Disney Fantasia coupon and $8 for the Sorcerer's Apprentice coupon (not yet available) and you will get both for $29.98 + tax. Not a bad deal at all.

This is a GREAT opportunity to get Gone with the Wind. One of the best HD releases of a classic and an absolutely essential film. Even if you are wary of an older film that deals with the American Civil War from the South's perspective, it's just so well acted, shot, and written that it doesn't matter.

Must have been, because they've all jumped in price now. TMNT collection is still on $19.49 though, so after the discount code and my B&N membership, it only cost me $17.84 shipped (with 2 day delivery). Not bad considering it's $28.99 on amazon. Hopefully I can sell my copy standalone copy of the CGI flick for a couple of bucks too. EDIT: well, actually, it looks like the two other sets are just sold out. Crazy deal.

penismightier posted:So is the Eyes Wide Shut Blu worth buying, or should I hold out for a better release down the line? Can't imagine it getting much better. It's already the unrated version with loseless sound and good picture quality. It is rumored that Warner Bros is getting Lolita and Barry Lyndon ready for a new Kubrick boxset in 2011 (along with individual release). If you own none of his WB movies and would rather get a boxset, you may want to wait.
