I don't like the film much however!

Thanks.

I hope they have English subs this time then, those don't have English subs. Granted HK BDs are likely to have English subs.

As it would likely use a remix approved by WKW, I wouldn't be worried.

Damn. That's another disc to add to the ever-growing blu shopping list.
Thanks Brad.

Ya know Tom, you really don't have to punish yourself by buying every half-arse HK film.

I take it you didn't like House of Fury, then?
Thought it was fairly entertaining (although not spectacular by any means).

In case it's lost in the bargain forum Shinobi blu-ray at £9.99 delivered seems a good price for a new release...here

I preordered the disc for $17.43 @ Amazon.com including s&h to Europe

It used to be pretty cheap @ DVDPacific.com too, but it looks like they've adjusted the price.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 04 May 2008, 20:49

that's a great price but if in a hurry for the extra £1 you will get it quicker from MT

I still aint seen Shinobi, not sure if I want to mind you after the crap I have been seeing from asia over the last year

if it was cheaper I may think about it, £10 is a bit much to take that chance, but easy to get rid of I am sure.

I bet that the audio specs will be lacklustre, because FUNimation sucks.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2008, 15:13

£9.99 is a perfectly good price for a HD Disc.

Yup its a shitty price

This is far better

http://www.amazon.com/Shinobi-Heart-Und ... 827&sr=8-1

£9.99 is not a good price at all to be honest, only a fool would say such a thing, they are over priced as fuck like 99% of Blu Rays. If you think £9.99 is a good price, you obviously have too much cash.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 05 May 2008, 20:02

So it's about a £1 cheaper at Amazon using the slowest shipping option. are you saying £9 is cheap and £9.99 is over-priced?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2008, 20:42

Classic Romero quote

Romero is actually saying 99p less makes it not only better but "far" better. With £1 off you could get it from MT for £8.99 too.

Lourdes · Post by **Lourdes** » 05 May 2008, 20:50

Given that £1 would be too much for this film he kind of has a point about the significance of the quid difference.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 05 May 2008, 21:14

No even £9 is a shit price for a film you can get on standard dvd for 49p, people who keep saying these sorts of prices are good for HD, obviously have cash to burn.

and I was not on about the price delivered alone, add another title and its cheaper, or move overseas and get it for even less.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 May 2008, 21:34

You were the one who said £9 was "far better"

Of course how stupid of us for not being born mind readers

Bollocks you were.

Careful Brad will say £14.99 is a bargain.

Hell if the films good to you, it will help you get over it

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 May 2008, 17:17

No Brad says £9.99 is a bargain not £14.99 but fair enough to Tigercage. I'd pay that for a film I wanted on BD if (I didn't think) it could be bought for less.
