Even so, people's local economies will be different meaning the cost of a Euro DVD will be more in one country than the other. Even if the currency rate fluctuations aren't an issue. No?HungFist wrote:But the currency rate fluctuations don't affect on Euro customers. The prices are the same as they were two years ago.
But then German and French DVDs have always been a rip off, long before the financial crisis. Average price for both seems to always be £20 before postage, when average price for a DVD in The UK is under £10.
It's actually dead simple, especially with Amazon. I've done it a few times on several sites. I have a translator open in another tab and copy/paste words I don't understand into it. Customer Services always speak English too.Markgway wrote:Amazon. de I take it? So you have to add several € in postage. Also I'm not comfortable placing an order on a website without English interface.
Like Salty says the interface is identical for Amazon, so you don't have to know what each word says. Grim's idea is a good one too.
I never look at the cost of postage but instead the overall total cost and if it's still either A: A good price or B: It's the best DVD and I want it. I'll lump it and pay up. I paid £25 for Leon German BD. A rip off but it was a title I wanted and I do it so rarely it's fine.
I don't spend any more now I buy BDs. I just buy less BDs to compensate.

Now I'm not following. I get just as much money (€) this month as I did last year in April. And the new German dvds have the same price tag (€) today as they had a year ago (or possibly lower). The economic crisis doesn't raise the price in any way.bradavon wrote:Even so, people's local economies will be different meaning the cost of a Euro DVD will be more in one country than the other.

If local prices for groceries etc... have gone up and people are losing their jobs, this matters not, anyway it's not important.HungFist wrote:Now I'm not following.

Taxes? Fuck's sake.
The German titles I'm looking for are:
THE FATE OF LEE KHAN (WGF)
RAINING IN THE MOUNTAIN (WGF)
THE PRODGIAL SON (Savoy)
EASTERN CONDORS (Eyecatcher)
BURNING PARADISE (Mo Asia - I know it's letterboxed but it's still the only subbed version available)
THE BLOOD BROTHERS
SHAOLIN TEMPLE (Chang Cheh)

No idea. The French one is hard to find.grim_tales wrote:Is the German DVD of Raining in the Mountain better than the French?
Beware the German dubbed only edition. Even the Mandarin (with English subtitles) edition is only letterboxed (2.35) and not anamorphic. I think the recent Taiwanese DVD is the same.Saying that I'd like to find the German "Dragon Inn" (1967).
Where are they based?HungFist wrote:Discotek will release this remastered later (this year?)Markgway wrote: BURNING PARADISE (Mo Asia - I know it's letterboxed but it's still the only subbed version available)

I don't think this one is a boot:

It's not cheap, $25
