here is something new people buy the dvd and watch it in a upscale player where you get near blu ray quailty? I do agree with head shot though but come on.
are you kidding me I've seen 1080p version of this film and it's fucking amazing video quality wise besides being a great film that everyone should see but If I'm going to own a copy of this going to be in bluray.
I think the reason they're not doing a Blu-ray is because they're soooo much cheaper in North America than in Japan and we're in the same region. The BD in Japan is currently ~$60 USD so they would lose money if it was imported from the US.
It wil be another super crappy cheap Manga Video Uk release, I honestly prefer spend more and import the Dvd and Blu Ray from the States than give money to Manga Video or Beez. so yeah I'm going to buy it from Right Stuf..
Cheaper for us in the UK to pre-order it on Amazon and wait for its 28th March release. Will cost me £8.99 which is equivalent to $14.50 + free P&P for you in N. America.
For once, cheaper to buy here then importing.
Bought! From what I remeber, it was a great movie, sad but great. But, I really only bought it to support CR! Thanks CR for taking another step in furthering the development of Japanese Culture in America!
To the best of my knowledge, NO company has the license to distribute a blu-ray of this movie outside of Japan. It seems like some shady shit is going on in the background. Either import the blu ray from Japan, or wait indefinitely
Since so many are asking about a BD. ...will we ever this this in digital format from iTunes? I rather watch stuff without a disk lately (the MB Air and iPad lack a disk drive). Anyways, I still ordered the DVD.
This movie will be worth every last cent you spend, true it's a little short but trust me it's one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen-MAKOTO SHINKAI YOU ARE A RUDDY GENIUS
@terragamerx correct me if im wrong but as cr as doing the release doesnt the license and region availability fall on them so its purely cr that have the rights to distribute as their logo is on the case
@darkoff: you should be saying "fuck you" to your own regions, because there are other companies that have the rights to distribute in your area, and they are the ones that denied you the chance. A sad situation nevertheless
Finally you offer something I would like to have. This is something I wish to have in my collection. And guess what it isn't available in my region. Damn you
Aww shame not available in my region guess I'll have to wait till Manga Entertainment releases it here next month and the other funny thing is, it will be cheaper on Amazon.
