 |
| As expected this thread only goes full retard talking bout the price lol Hey fags this IS R1 import release, like KnK for those who would not wait longer for R2 release by aniplex US or something like this. Zeus, you guys better be grateful there is release like this n including english booklets n shiet for those who can pay. Importing by yourself can be a bitch. |

| I won't buy KnK for this price and I will not buy FZ for this price. Seriously, what the hell is this? Maybe they would get more sales over here if it wasn't so insanely expensive |
jmal said: yes it costs a lot but it's pretty much the same as importing. Welcome to an importer's world. Nobody should be surprised by it at this point, though. ^ FUCKING THIS! You guys wish to own the BDs at the same time as the japanese with the same amount of extras and everything...then you will pay the same price they have to pay for pretty much every anime that is ever released over there. An individual BD volume in japan is approx $60 and more, the price for anime is pretty damn high but I guess I have a job for that reason... |

| Plus, Type Moon has as rabid a fanbase as there is, even in the West. There will be quite a few people who buy this. |

I say forget the boxset and buy the PSP game since it is getting an NA release from Aksys or whatever they're called along with that Hakuouki game. ^_^ Its cheaper in the long run. |

RyanSaotome said: Plus, Type Moon has as rabid a fanbase as there is, even in the West. There will be quite a few people who buy this. Well 300 KnK import box is sold out last time they doing it. And people need to be keep reminded this is R1 import release, its purpose is just to make your life easier if want buy the R1 box. Although its does have some kickass extras like translated booklet n note for drama CDs. You all might get cheaper R2 release with dubs and stuff (much) later. |
|
| Welp guess I'll be sitting out on this one. |
| $500 for 13 episodes? You're joking right? |
 |
| did saber eat too much while on the filming set and now they're in debt or something? sheesh that's expensive for a box set. |

| Oh wow. I find it so cute that: A) They claim that "there is a little market" for anime in Eu and America. And then put a pricetag that's insane. B) blame pirates for lost sales. Well honestly. What would you chooce, pirate for 0,50$ (ish) or buy it for 1000 times as much (Yes, thats right. ONETHOUSANDFUCKINGDOLLARS!). The day people stop to but shit for this amount of cash is the day we will start to se a anime for a better price. As of now, Manga has a way higher value /Drunk ramble |
 |
| I guess they need to combat reverse importing of the set too seeing as it'll be out relatively quickly, but that's still a little more than I would have expected. Still considering it though.. |

fertygo said: Or sacrifice your upgrade plan for skyrim + gaming cost for quarter like certain people does... T___________T I just upgraded my PC last week for modern games too. Maybe I shouldn't have sprung for the i7-3930k and went with a 2600k instead. Oh well...I guess I'll see if I have the cash then. But I doubt it...next up is tires and brakes which would get me 5 box sets of Fate/Zero by itself. |
| Ok™ |

I don't think it's perfect, but it works. Everyone has a 50/50 chance to buy anything (yes or no) you're defining it in such simplistic terms. And if we want to do "1 in 100" "50/50" hyper-generalized pseudo-statistics, let's take it a step further and admit that ~97 of those 99 people refuse to pay any price and never intended to buy their anime in the first place. Aniplex has no interest in selling this release to the average casual fan who wants to pay $0-50 for an entire cour of anime and not a penny more. They want to sell it to a couple hundred hardcore collectors. So claiming they're making a mistake based on this price not satisfying a group they never considered in the first place is shouting into the wind. I'd never belittle someone for not being willing or able to pay such high prices, but it'd also be nice if such people realized Aniplex isn't selling it to you. Just go watch the streams or download the fansubs and you won't even need to think about it. But you're absolutely not getting a day-and-date JP-mirroring BD release loaded with extras for less than what the Japanese pay. It is just not going to happen. Let's take this as an example, the 99 people read this thread, thought that they will never buy the BD's(because of the price). The 1in100 guy now has the choice of buying it or not(let's assume that he's on a pre-ordering site, and s/he has the money). Basically just what you said. Same as on a food stand, the 99 would read the price and pass while the 1in100 guy stays there and ponder. EDIT: what part did I say about the mispriced merchandise? I think you're talking to the wrong guy. |

| For that amount of cash, I certainly hope Saber, Irisviel and Sola Ui come out of the screen and perform sexual favors for the buyers. Otherwise, totally not worth it. Seriously, though, I get all the reasons for the pricing, but if an affordable set isn't released a couple of years down the road, that really sucks for people who do want to own a physical copy and just simply cannot pay this outrageous amount. |
| so does this come with everything the japanese box comes with? too lazy to check. if it does i suppose i'll have to pick it up. extras are what make buying anime so fun for me, so if this doesn't have everything i'd just import. Exkalamity said: Except UTW's subs are fabulously gorgeous. Shelling out $300+ for inferior quality translations =/. Morals and ethics be damned; that's just bad business.  lol ok. |
| I'm glad I never got into the Fate series. (I couldn't really finish F/SN because of Shiro) That price is pretty expensive, but it's to be expected considering it gets out the same day as the Japanese one. So other than that, it's a good deal if you're an importer because it's less of a hassle. Fans who are buying this: enjoy your F/Z Blu-ray Box~! :D |
Kikimaru said: Meanwhile, on the Internet, 95% of viewers will download MKV rips. in soviet russia, MKV rips download viewers |
| Jeez...shit's getting expensive... I swear, everytime one of these release notices for some anime comes up, the prices go higher and higher. -.-V |
| When I first saw the thread title, I started to jump with joy. When I read that the box set will include the extras, I started to scream, "Hallelujah! I am so buying this!" Then, I saw the price and went.... :o I would buy it but... seriously?! This is more expensive than buying a new gaming system (and it's not even the whole series)... hell, even my laptop is cheaper than this! WTF, seriously? I generally consider myself to be a huge supporter of the anime industry, but with prices this high in this economy for a luxury good, then you guys can forget it. Go back to marketing class, please. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| With that kind of price for an import, only anime fans that have a huge income will most likely to buy this. As much as I predicted that Aniplex of America is licensing and distributing Fate/Zero but I did not expect them to do an import like they did with Kara no Kyoukai. I would love to buy it but it's beyond expensive for a 13-episode series plus the extra stuff for a Blu-ray. Too bad I don't have a blu-ray player. :P I was hoping for an English Dub for this series since Fate/stay night has been out in North America a few years ago but I guess it's too soon for an english dub. |

| Do I want it? Yes. Am I glad that shit actually is being sold state side? Yes. Buying something for half a grand that shouldn't be more than $2-300 (for 13 episodes and a few bonus')? Unfortunately not. |

| Seeing as how it worked for Kara no Kyoukai, Aniplex is probably expecting the same trick to work a second time for Fate/Zero. (And I won't in the least bit be surprised if it does sell out like KnK). Anyway, this is one show off my wishlist. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a possible dub in the future, improbable as that may be... |

fertygo said: lol so many ignorant... Well this is MAL. They werent paying attention for 1/54000th of a second, obviously. Unfortunately I can't afford it. I could get an apartment and pay several bills with that amount. Definitely something I can live without. .... I'm sorry Rider, Lancer. ;A; |
