Using a mix of HMV and Amazon now. Amazon is a bit cheaper, but HMV offers a brilliant timed delivery (for free of course).

Received 3 Halo ODST limited edition bundles, which has the game plus a specially designed Halo OST controller.

Image

Thinking about buying a bunch more, and keeping them sealed, so I can sell them for a nice profit in 2-3 years orso, cause on eBay they're already fetching quite some nice prices.

I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...

Ordered 5 more Halo ODST + ODST controller bundles, which will take my total to 8.

Cost me 40 euro for 1 bundle, but when you compare it to the prices on eBay and such, for sealed bundles, I'm sure I can make some money from it in 2-3 years time, when they should be extremely hard to find. :)

I'm tempted, but think I'll wait for the inevitable trilogy box set since I'm in no hurry to see these at the moment, in too much of a horror phase.

You know what happens when you let me loose in Tokyo second hand stores

Air Doll (2 Disc LE)

Sun Scarred
Image

Abashiri Prison (poster pic, sorry, dvd cover is almost identical)
Image

Path of the Beast
Image

Secret Chronicle: She Beast Market
Image

Hard Boiled
Image

Shadow Warriors II: Vol. 1 (/II)
Image

The Geneon Nikkatsu Meisaku Roman discs are currently oop and going for insane prices at amazon. Path of the Beast for 19800 yen while Chronicle is not even available. I got these for 2400 yen. While I'm not a fan of the genre, these two films are great, both featuring amazing cinematography and great use of music.

A few random caps from Tanaka's "soft porn film" Secret Chronicle: She Beast Market

UK or USA? Unusually the USA Lionsgate is Region Free but UK Sony is Region B. The Lionsgate also has 7.1 (not that I'll be using that any time soon). I've got the USA BD.

Scandinavian one from a friend :) Different (cooler) looking cover but on the back it says 1080p 25fps (!) and the AR seems wrong.

How so? I suspect it's 24fps and a typo. The cover is better, the USA one is good too. What a weird re-title "Rambo 4 - Legends Never Die!".

Yes, the Scandi release has incorrect aspect ratio. Well, the dvd had for sure, I'm almost positive the BD is the same.

I remember it's somewhere around 1.85:1 or 1.78:1, showing additional info on top and bottom, but also notably less on sides than the inteded 2.35:1.

Hope the BD is 24p.
