R2 Dvd prices

[Bleu Eyed Brunette]

Hey guys, I was looking at amazon japan out of curiosity and noticed how pricey the volumes were. I mean, for just one it was fine, if you add it up, it's a small (lol huge) fortune.

Basically, one volume of one season was 35.29 USD (i used an online converter)... taking all the seasons and the movies gives you:

classic - 8 volumes = $282.32
R- 8 volumes + movie (28.64) = $310.96
S - 7 volumes + movie (27.88) = $274.91
super s - 7 volumes + movie (35.29) = $282.32
stars - 6 volumes = $211.74

for a grand total of:
$ 1362.25



Maybe I'm just poorer than everyone else... but that's SO much money. lol. Do Japanese people seriously shell out over 1000 bucks for one series on dvd? I was looking at the R2 versions because they have such better quality, but there's no freaking way I have that kind of money for it. -_-;

(and i have no clue why the movies differed in price. maybe I screwed up somewhere lol)

Things on Amazon are almost ALWAYS overpriced, like a (still-in-print) soundtrack for $1000.

However, it's not too hard to fathom.

lol wow... the irony, considering I usually run to amazon to get stuff cheaper than in local stores. XD

[Ellethwen]

Well, then you're just lucky XD

Ummm... wow! I can get an X-box 360 and a PS3 with that much money. Geez.... That's WAY too much for me to spend.

R2s are crazy expensive. I agree, I don't know how Japanese people can afford them. Still, like a lunatic, I continue to shell out money for them! I bought mine from YesAsia so I would at least get free shipping, so that helped a bit. I started buying them with birthday/Christmas money so no one could say I wasted my hard-earned money, haha.

But if you really want nice quality and don't mind the lack of subtitles, I totally recommend getting one of the R2s. They're SO worth the money!
